Can Cold Environment Trigger An Asthma Attack?
Hi i had an asthma attack the other day, I was in a very cold tin building looking at old vintage clothing, I felt cold in my throat and upper chest and felt like I couldn't breathe, I used my rescue inhaler and went and sat in my warm car. Can the cold bring on asthma attacks?
