Will Altitude Affect Asthma Patients?
Hi there, I was just wondering how altitude affects asthma. Is it more controllable at sea level or higher. I am not talking mountain high levels though lol.
I know someone who says her asthma is so much better when she is not at sea level ( where she is currently living) and she is trying to convince her husband she should move for health reasons.
Can you advise me please.
Thanks
Vicki

as the altitude increases the air is more fresh and without dusts pollens and smoke
at sea level due to humid environment there are lot of dust mites and they are major culprit in asthma
so it is better for many patients for living at high altitude
