Humidity can also make asthma symptoms worse in some people, although the reasons why can vary depending on the individual. Here are a few possible explanations:

  1. Humidity can increase the amount of mold and other allergens in the air, which can trigger asthma symptoms in people who are sensitive to them.
  2. High humidity can cause a person’s airways to become swollen and narrow, making it harder for them to breathe. This is because when the air is moist, it can be more difficult for the body to release heat through sweating, so the body compensates by releasing more fluid into the airways.
  3. Humidity can also make it more difficult for a person’s body to regulate their breathing. When the air is hot and humid, people may be more likely to breathe quickly and shallowly, which can cause them to hyperventilate and trigger asthma symptoms.

If you find that humidity is triggering your asthma symptoms, there are a few things you can do to manage them. For example, you may want to avoid spending time outdoors on hot, humid days, or use a dehumidifier to reduce the moisture in your home. You can also talk to your doctor about adjusting your asthma medications or treatment plan to better manage your symptoms.

There are certain things people like to save money and this is one I don’t get.  You need to change your furnace filter for your health and you should as an asthmatic use a high quality one to get all the crap out of the air.

Some of it is being lazy.   People seem to skip this chore.  Even when my husband was in the military and the filters were literally free, people still didn’t do it. Every house we moved into had a disgusting one that looked like it had been there for years.

You as an asthmatic cannot afford to be lazy like that.    A high quality filter will remove a lot from the air in your house to help you keep you healthy.  You may also want to consider vent cleaning as it can remove things from the ventilation system that don’t make it to the filter.   We had ours done when we moved into this house and it was literally amazing the crap that came out from huge piles of dog hair and human hair to toys to coins to glitter to just plain filth.    You can vacuum them yourself but the pros use a high power compressor and that is what brings all the crap out so for the best result (remember don’t be cheap with your health) use a Pro.
