Many people find that cold really affects their breathing. Not everyone reacts that way, but many do. Wear a scarf across your nose and mouth and that might help.

Yes, @A MyCOPDTeam Member, Winter / Dampness / Humidity / Cold or Raw weather can be bad for your ability to breathe. Some folks are bothered by the heat and humidity, and some folks are bothered by everything.

COPD doesn’t choose just one type; it’s an equal opportunity abuser, LOL.

I live in a damp climate and winter is also harder for me. I find I spend a lot more time in doors...and am looking forward to the warmer weather again.
