Hi, just wondering if this happens to anyone. Everytime I take a shower. I start to get wheezy then have a very hard time to breathe.

@Michelle50 Hello Michelle,

I've never heard of this, but I imagine it might be the humidity? I live in the South and the summers are hard for me because it gets so hot and muggy.

@Michelle50 This doesn't happen to me specifically, but it does make sense. Like Mandyy and br6490 said, I think the humidity and the steam can be hard for you. That's why they don't recommend saunas and jacuzzis for people with asthma and other breathing conditions.
