Problems With Breathing In Winter Time Posted: 12-07-06 18:36pm
Ok, I have this problem for a couple years
now.
Every time it's winter I get respiratory
problems.
Like when it's really cold.
I did a blood test, x-rays for my chest
& nose...All nothing!!
So I went to a nose specialist and he told
me I have a mild rhinitis(not enough to
operate).
That was last year.
So this winter it's back again.
I'm going back to my nose specialist on
the 22nd of jan.
But I want advice from anyone who has the
same problem.
Cuz it's really annoying.
Sometimes at night I can't sleep cuz I
can't breathe.
Even when I take a shower it gets worse.
Today i'm gonna try that vicks humidifier
machine thingy.
I'm really desperate
so please if anyone can help me reply
back.
Ooh btw..I'm a 19 yr old male.

I have the same problem, but I have been
diagnosed with asthma since I was 9. Cold
weather triggers my asthma and makes it
more difficult for me to breathe.
Humidifiers may help, so definitely give
that a try. I would also suggest trying
those new tablets that dissolve in the
shower. I think they're made by vicks or
sudafed or something. They're supposed to
help open you up and allow you to breathe
more easily. Always dress warm when
you're going outside. If you've not been
diagnosed with asthma, tell your doctor
about the problems you've been having and
see if he can run a check for you. I've
been on flovent for a year and it's really
helped me. So if you do get diagnosed
with asthma, ask for a daily steroid you
can take to manage it because they are
very beneficial!
Hope this helps!

Thx for the reply.
My doctor checked on me and he told me I
don't have asthma.
I will definitely give those dis-solvable
pills a try.
I went to the e.R the other day cuz I
wanted try something else and they told me
the same thing.
That I should keep taking fluonase until
the end of the winter.
Apparently I wasn't spraying it in the
right angle.
So i'll try that first and then we'll
see.
I feel srry for u having asthma
i can imagine how hard it is to live with
it.
