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.

Asthma - Do showers make you wheezy? https://www.carenity.us/forum/asthma/living-with-asthma/shower-1381@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.
No taking showers does not bother me if I forget my medication yes I will get sick with my asthma I am over weight but work at Safeway in the craziness now pray for me plus I take Black elderberry syrup which helps me survive
@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.
Yes it happens in the shower too , but I do love the hot water afterwards I feel better , I have allergies too which kicks in with my asthma
