Thanks Salwa Yammine. The article you sent is very informative. As a clinician, I can say that asthma is impaired, especially in humid weather and polluted air.

Cold and wet weather is one of the triggers for asthma attacks, as the severity of asthma symptoms may increase during the fall and winter seasons, including coughing, shortness of breath, and wheezing. This may be due to the constriction and constriction of the respiratory tract caused by the ingress of cold air, and mold spores also spread in this weather.

The prevalence of respiratory diseases, especially asthma and COPD is high and increasing worldwide. Patients with such respiratory diseases are particularly vulnerable regarding environmental alterations associated with climate changes. Please see the following RG link:

Article Perception of climate change in patients with chronic lung disease

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a collection of lung diseases that cause breathing problems and obstruct airflow. A study investigated the hypothesis that common environmental chemical exposures with a known irritant or sensitizing properties trigger exacerbations for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

thanks Manal Hadi Kanaan, Antethar Jabar for your answers.

Some doctors believe that the sensory cells in the blood vessels and arteries are responsible for perceiving the air changes and sending signals to the brain, while others suggest the symptoms affect those who suffer from certain diseases such as allergy patients that appear in the form of high temperature and blood pressure, while the lower temperature appears in patients Vascular and respiratory system.

And those studies indicated that with the decrease in the weather temperature, the trachea and vessels constrict, leading to problems for asthma patients and inconvenience for allergy sufferers.

I agree with Antethar Jabar. With the cooling of the weather, the control of asthma patients deteriorates and hospital admissions increase significantly. In addition, exercise-related asthma is more common in cold air athletes.

Thanks Terri Purvis.

Yes they do.

Thank for reply Kabita Shah.

Yes, this is a common effect. But not only freezing temperatures and the cooler air but also decreasing air pressure by cyclon as well.

Thank for reply Vadym Slyusar.

Please have a look at this article

Article Is Asthma and COPD Overlap Syndrome Weather and Environment Sensitive?

نعم وجدا تتاثر ومجربة عندما يتبدل الطقس

Thanks Lamia Al-Naama, Amani Harith. As stated in the article you shared, I think it is important to consider Asthma and COPD overlap syndrome, which is a phenotype of COPD patients, in follow-up and treatment.

The syndromic phenomena of asthma and COPD is intriguing fact that requires furtther studies . Dr Kalemci has an intresting view in this overlap syndrome.

Thank you Issa Salmi.

Good discussion and infirmative

Thanks Mahammad Khuddush for your reply.

We know that asthma can be more triggered by environmental factors such as perfume and changes in weather, when compared to COPD . From this point of view, we can predict that patients with ACOS may be more sensitive to environmental triggers and weather changes in comparison to COPD.
