Can't breathe

[emily_in_nc]

Along with the exercise induced asthma (I take flovent and seravent), how much does the weather affect you? Today was warm and extrmemely muggy, and I was coughing to clear my lungs when I hit rest-stop one (mile 15). Decided to bail and ride back to the start - OK the pending thunderstorm also weighed in on the decision. This isn't the first time I've had lots of trouble breathing when it's very muggy out. So now, hours later I still feel whoped.

I have most breathing problems on hot, humid days (pretty much describes all of summer here in NC), and on cold, dry winter days. Fortunately, Advair seems to be helping a lot - just started it a month ago, and my breathing while riding has improved noticeably. However, I have mild asthma - yours may be a worse case if you're still having problems despite your meds.

Hopefully it will cool down for you soon!
