Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition that affects millions of people around the world.1 For those living in regions with colder temperatures throughout the winter months, this can often cause increased concerns, as cold and dry weather conditions can increase the potential for exacerbations. The combination of pre-existing issues resulting from asthma, paired with the potential complications resulting from cold temperatures, could increase the potential of experiencing symptoms such as coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath.
Managing asthma in the winter requires a proactive approach. This means understanding triggers, regularly monitoring symptoms as they occur, and having an action plan in place in the event that exacerbations occur. With a proactive approach in mind, people with asthma can enjoy the cold, winter months while keeping their symptoms under control.
As the seasons change and the weather gets warmer, people with respiratory conditions such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) may face new challenges in managing their symptoms. Springtime can bring increased pollen and air pollution levels, which can trigger flare-ups and exacerbations in people with these conditions. However, with some proactive steps, it is possible to manage asthma and COPD effectively during the spring.
