Bliss on the Beach!
It always amazes me how my asthma abates at the beach. Starting day-5 and it’s like my asthma is gone … almost zero mucus production too. Gotta head back inland tomorrow to earn a living (boo). Back for another week in November … I need to retire here soon!
Hi again, otter, and thanks for your post. It's good to hear that your asthma has been well controlled in a beach environment. Do you think it is absolutely the beach atmosphere? Could it also be that you are away from work and perhaps, your stress level is decreased. For some folks, when there is less stress, asthma symptoms sometimes lessen too. Do you think this is what's happening in your case?

So interesting to hear that, otter! I also work over on our sister site, COPD.net, and there have been conversations lately about how good many members feel when they spend time at the beach or otherwise by the sea. So you're not alone there! , do you know if there's a definitive reason for why this is the case? Just curious! -Melissa, asthma.net team This is so neat. I love how the both of you bring something a little different to the table -- it's always interesting and I know we all benefit from it. Thanks for sharing! -Melissa, asthma.net team Hi Melissa - thanks! It's always a good time here in our asthma.net community - glad to know that you are enjoying it, too!

That's a kind of really an positive news. That's great that you are not having any major problems from asthma diagnosis. Well the weather can be the reason though, most importantly I feel that the positive-ness in your mind automatically makes you healthier physically within your body and also check shoptruepills. Hope you are having a great day! Well I’m back about 250 miles inland from the coast and the mucus has returned (though I am breathing just fine with no other issues). My pulmonologist has suggested that stress and anxiety may be a factor with my asthma as my routine spirometry numbers are generally very good. And I’m kinda high-strung, type A. However I am usually working when at the beach as well, same work related stressors. I do think being there makes a difference.
Hi again, otter, and thanks for the update. What do you think about the suggestion from your physician?
Personally, I also think that work-related stress can have an effect on one's asthma. Stress, in general, as we all are aware, can be intertwined with one's asthma too!
Wishing you well,
