My doctor recommended using an N95 mask with a cooling feature. I don't know how hard these are to get since most need to go to medical professionals, but we just happened to have some from a purchase for another purpose 10 months ago. They make breathing MUCH easier.
Hello @karim . I think maybe your question got lost in the spring. There are many updates since then. Take a look at the Frequently Asked Questions at the end of the blog above. Click them to open. Two especially for you: Are people with asthma at higher risk of catching the new coronavirus? (Updated 7/16/20) Are people with asthma at higher risk of more severe symptoms from COVID-19? (Updated 6/25/20) Hang in there! All the best.
You better buy a proper mask Exposure to CO2 can produce a variety of health effects. These may include headaches, dizziness, restlessness, a tingling or pins or needles feeling, difficulty breathing, sweating, tiredness, increased heart rate, elevated blood pressure, coma, asphyxia, and convulsions... ask for 2020 certification when seeking IAQ and surface Protection...
No one is regulating Indoor temp, humidity, PM 2.5, CO2, NO2 air quality levels.. Be careful make sure you obtain IAQ and Surface protection info from fellow asthma members or certified IAQ and Surface protection contractors.
I find I can do best in lightweight cloth masks like the 3 ply ones at Old Navy, with a mask brace underneath it to hold it off the face some, a stick-on metal nosepiece so it doesn't leak/fog glasses (they come in packs of 100 on Amazon for cheap), and avoid strenuous activity while wearing it, I usually only wear it inside and 6 foot distance both in and outside, AND if its for long periods, I found these fan necklaces that are quiet but blow air up on you to help reduce the heat/humidity...
@Whippetartist - hope you can find a booster appointment soon! @Ironmom316 - we are sharing this latest research so people with asthma and allergies can make informed decisions about the COVID-19 vaccine and whether they can safely receive the vaccine.
I thought that your group would be defending the individual's right to choose what to put inside their own body. Especially those concerned about allergies. On Mon, Nov 8, 2021, 11:19 AM Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America < support@aafa.org> wrote:
Yes! I got the Pifzer COVID-19 vaccines in March 2021, I had no problem reaction, no side effects. Now, I'm searching my area to get the COVID-19 booster vaccine. More than my allergies, allergic asthma, I have Paget's Disease of Bone. When I go out in public, I must wear a mask & gloves to protect my health.
@Ironmom316 - Makes an interesting point. Having talked with the 4 doctors monitoring my bone disease, allergies, the doctors & myself decided getting the COVID-19 vaccines & flu in 2021 shot would help prevent me from getting seriously ill. I read all the truthful medical research documents, saw the results from medical research hospitals, thankful I got the vaccines.
There is not enough research to make such a claim. Yours is an opinion and the study guidelines should be indicated to include how many people were in the study, their medical history, etc. This is not the forum to encourage people to get this shot.

Good news! My sister, my 91 yrs mom & myself, have made appts at our local Walgreen's pharmacy to get the COVID-19 booster shot. So important as the COVID-19 variants are circulating currently in FL with increased seasonal visitors.
Please consider immunization if you haven’t yet received your shot. There are a lot of rumors and disinformation floating on the web and social media. If you have questions or fears, please talk to your doctor or pharmacist!
