Does the summer heat increase your COPD symptoms?
How do you manage your COPD symptoms during the summer heat? Any tips for staying cool and avoiding flare-ups?
Staying inside where it is cooler
drink plenty of water to stay hydrated. Staying indoors where my air conditioner is. It’s a very comfortable 72 degrees in my house on humid days. 
We do Pulmonary Rehabilitation, twice per week at 2:30pm. We noticed the exercise hall keeps the air conditioning on the whole time. It is quite cold, but makes the difference. At home this summer, we use a large (warehouse) type fan. Looks about 60cm in diameter, this stays on day and night, and really does the trick.

Stay indoors with air conditioning
I very rarely use the heat pump air conditioner. I’m one of those crazies that believes I should be comfortable but be mindful that my human body is part of Mother Earth and to respect her gifts.
