What Causes Pain While Taking Breath During Rise In Temperature And Humidity?

Hi! I am 43 years old, 125 lbs and in good health. I have some food allergies, and a mold allergy. It has been very hot and humid out on and off all summer. Each time the temp and humidity rise, I have a really hard time breathing. Feels like someone is sitting on my chest, and it is extremely painful to take a breath. It goes away slowly when I get into an air conditioned area with lower humidity / lower temp.

hello,
i can understand your concern.
i would like to know if you are a known asthamatic.
it has been found that people with asthma do tend to get worsening of the symptoms like difficulty in breathing, tightness of chest ,wheeze.
i would advise a pulmonary function test initially to know the presence of any obstructive lung diseases.
i would suggest an inhalational broncho dilator like formoterol initially which is a long acting one. if required a steroid inhaler would be prescribed later.
kindly get back to us with the reports.
hope you are satisfied with our response. thanks for choosing HCM
