Bronchiectasis & summer.
Posted , 9 users are following.
Hi everyone it's me again asking questions, sorry.
As some of you know I was diagnosed with Bronchiectasis in both lungs on the 24th febuary 2015 so I am new to this condition & still learning about it. My question is does Bronchiectasis get worse in the summer months due too the heat & humidity or is it the same all year round ? If it does what can you do to help lesson the effects & get through the summer more comfortably.
Looking forward to any responses, thanks in advance everyone :0)

I have had it all my life.
I am 39 now.
I have found that seasons don't have any good or bad points.
I think the change of seasons spring and autumn are worse.
Its basically staying away from anyone with a virus. A virus basically sets off an episode of bronch, leads to chest infection.
staying active, fit and eating wellis best. Airway clearence.
At times i feel like beating my head against a wall because nothing works at times.
Good luck

Summer months are much better for me. I'm worse with the cold and rain, damp weather is the worst for me.
Hope you're learning to manage your condition a little more now. Keep well.

I'm sure you will find a lot of helpful information on this forum. When I read the discussions I find myself thinking "Oh I feel like that" which does make you to feel you are not alone. GP's take note they don't aseem to know an awful lot about bronchiactisis.

Personally I find the summer months much better. I went six months last year without an infection. Let's hope it's good for you too, and good luck with the knee op.
Thank you to all contributors to this site. I always read the comments with interest. So good to know that we're not alone.

Yeah sometimes life does suck but like my mum says, "no matter how bad you feel remember there is always someone else out there worse off so count your blessings & keep smiling". She is a very wise lady my mum & I wouldn't disagree with her as she is Italian & is very handy with a rolling pin lol. Thanks for replying to my post, take care & keep smiling :0)
