Hello everyone :)

Spring has certainly sprung and even though we can all enjoy the longer and brighter days, spring can sometimes cause COPD to trigger due to allergies.

Does spring aggrevate your COPD? What do you do to combat it?

Really looking forward to the good weather as I'm so much better. It's the cold I struggle with

Each season brings it own problems however since a number of my triggers are present year round it makes no real difference

My COPD nurse has put me on the INCRUSE ELLIPTA inhaler... I can now breathe, Hay-fever is bad, eyes itchy and nose runny, sore throat yes just a bit but I can inhale a big breathe without coughing so bad it causes a nose bleed I'm also taking hay-fever medicine and nasal spray.

My asthma is triggered by many different factors of which allergies are just one factor. It's the same with my COPD. This year my hay-fever has been worse than normal and as a result both my asthma and COPD have flared up a bit.

Hello everyone,

How are you today? Have you seen this older discussion? emoticon bashful

Now that it's that time of year again - the sun is starting to return and flowers and leaves are starting to bloom... And with spring comes a number of allergens or other elements that can exacerbate respiratory conditions like COPD. emoticon rose

And what about you? Do you have a harder time managing your COPD in the spring? Are allergies a triggering factor for you? How to you manage in this time of year?

F‍eel free to share here!

Take care,
Courtney
