Tips to manage heat and humidity
It is always interesting to me to speak with other patients living with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). I tend to learn so much from others, and everyone’s experience is a little different. For example, some patients with IPF find the winter months and cold weather makes it harder for them to breathe, whereas others find the heat and humidity of summer more challenging.
If you are the latter and struggle to breathe in the heat and humidity, I’ve been thinking about you so far this summer! Many parts of the US and Canada have already experienced very high temperatures and it is only early July. As a result, I thought I’d share some columns published on Pulmonary Fibrosis News that summarize tips on how to deal with the heat and humidity as an IPF patient:
Melting Heat and Humidity Becomes Another Hurdle
How to Make the Most of Summer Despite Pulmonary Fibrosis
How I Deal With Heat Since My Pulmonary Fibrosis Diagnosis
Do you have any other tips to share regarding how to manage heat and humidity as an IPF patient? Are you bothered more by the hot or cold temperatures?
