Hey yall im a 22 year old male with asthma and I’ve been pretty well with maintained with it except for a half a year spell last year where I lost my insurance and barley had enough to scrap by forcing myself to not have any insurance and been without medication during that time. But I’ve been up to date since with my doctor and medications got a new insurance card and really in a better state in general . Recently I got hired to a new job at a factory that isn’t to bad and pays alright .
The only kick about the job it gets very hot in there.The a/c barley works and it can get very hot even with a fan being right next to us . I’ve worked in hot conditions before such as warehouses where I took merchandise off or on trailers but the conditions inside the warehouse were cooler so I never felt uncomfortable with my asthma or I if I did I stopped and left the trailer for awhile (It only happen once ). The factory here is hot and humid all around and projects the weather from the outside so it can up to degrees 95+ sometimes inside . Even on days where the temperature ain’t hot outside it’s still a heated area,like I said we have fans all around us , water stations to make us feel better and while I can work around it , I’ve noticed my asthma symptoms gets flared up a little bit . I work 8-10 hours shift 5 days a week . I didn’t think it be a problem at first or manage it with a rescue inhaler I have on me at all times, but I do feel like my shortness of breath has gotten a little worse and I’ve noticed I’m taking deeper breaths than usual . I haven’t gone to the doctors just yet . But I wanted some feedback on if anyone been in this situation before ? Did yall overcome it and make yourself feel better ? Or did yall leave the job at the end ?
