Guest Guest26110 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Have you guys who have asthma, chest problems etc found the Aussie climate [obviously out exhaust fume filled of city's] beneficial to your health? Lee-Alison has had a chest infection ever since we got home to the UK from a long break in OZ, I think the flight was the cause, but this weather isn't helping.

Dawny Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 My Asthma seemed ok when we were in oz, but had endless sinus problems, also outbreaks of hives The hives stayed with me for over 18 months of returning to the uk, with no explanation for them, also now constant sinus problems! Different plant life and weather i think has all added to the problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacaranda Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I got probably 4 chest infections in one year when I was living in SA,but I was asthmatic and smoking!!!:embarrassed:When I moved over to the UK,I never got any CI's,but can't put that down to the country,just put it down to not smoking.

Petals Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 I know that exhaust fumes bother me, I remember going through the Tyne Tunnel when we were over in UK and I was a mess for ages after. I do take preventative now so maybe that helps. I think we have to know what allergens cause our asthma, I had all the tests done and my main allergen is molds. Hard to avoid as they are everywhere. So damp and me do not go together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellie 2 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 My mother, chronic asthmatic, used to have to take a numerous pills before getting up in the morning, that was in Scotland. When she came here on holiday she took little or no meds at all. Who can tell with asthma: it's so different for different people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
