A member asked:

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder and keeping breathing going in extreme weather?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Scarf or mask.: In cold weather a single breath can cause airway spasm and difficulty breathing. Wear a scarf and create a pocket of warm air to inhale around your mouth. Cold weather masks are also available, but less acceptable to most people. In hot weather try to limit your time outdoors and stay well hydrated. On bad pollution days stay indoors.
