It is a good idea to carry a scarf with you to cover your mouth. It prevents that initial shock of ooh, I can't breathe I the cold weather.
Yes I do. I also have bad asthma with the Bronciectasis. But it’s controlled with my medications. I have to avoid the winds and stay inside. Wear a mask outside. Some of the asthma allergy companies online have masks that keep the air warm on your nose and mouth. I used to wear one when I went ice-skating years ago.
Goodness yes. If it's very cold, and I'm walking across a large parking lot, I make sure to have a scarf that I can drape loosely across my lower face and neck. I don't like inhaling such cold air! BTW, that's another good use for those masks we stocked up on.
Does cold weather make breathing harder for people with COPD?
Yes, cold weather can definitely make breathing more difficult and worsen COPD symptoms. Cold air and strong winds are known triggers for COPD exacerbations. Cold temperatures can make it harder to breathe and may cause fatigue even without physical exertion.
Yes I was downtown one cold morning n couldn't catch my breathe it was so scary n I had no idea the cold would do that
