Weather changes cause unexplained need to use my oxygen more. Atmospheric changes cause more shortness of breath as does a high dew point (over 60).

Weather can affect us in many ways. High humidity is a problem for many of us and extreme heat or cold can be difficult.

High humidity is also a drag.

Michael, dust and poor indoor and outdoor air quality affect my breathing. My daughter and son-in-law live in the same house, and they are pretty messy. They think I am crazy dusting, vacuuming, and cleaning so much. I tell them why, but it doesn't change anything. I have 3 air cleaners with HEPA filters going all the time.
