Feel like your asthma gets worse in the winter? ❄️ You’re not imagining it. Cold/dry air & spending more time indoors increases asthma symptoms. Follow these tips to breathe easier in cold weather 😌
Why is asthma often worse in the winter?Cold air can trigger spasms in the muscles that keep your airways open. These spasms can trigger asthma flare-ups.Dryness in the air, as often happens in the winter, can irritate your airways, cause coughing and problems breathing.
Changes in air pressure Even in warmer climates, unstable weather during winter months can create fluctuations in air pressure which can trigger asthma symptoms. Wind and rain can also stir up asthma triggers such as mold spores. Exercise Exercising in cold weather can trigger asthma symptoms or make them worse. You’re more likely to breathe through your mouth when you exercise, but when you do that in the cold, it can force cold air directly into your airways and dry out the mucus lining of your bronchial tubes.
Respiratory illnesses In the winter, colds, flu and other respiratory viruses are common. These illnesses lead to airway inflammation. They thicken the mucus in bronchial tubes, making asthma symptoms worse. More time indoors If you live in a cold climate, you likely spend a lot more time inside during the winter than in other seasons. That means you’re getting more exposure to indoor asthma triggers such as dust, mold, pet dander and other irritants.
