I have just been out in the cold weather and...

...now I am having breathing difficulties. Like wheezing.? I NEVER suffer from my asthma I do have it but its never bothered me in the slightest apart from the cold weather and cats, could the cold weather be triggering off my asthma? If so thats a pain in the butt as I have to go to school! I cant not breathe!

Yes cold weather can trigger asthma. Go to the doctor, maybe you should have an inhaler on hand.

So where exactly is the pain. Your throat or your butt?

[Pesky]

Sounds like it could be an asthma attack or something... They just come randomly, my m8 has it and she used to live with me. Have fun at school!! And thanks for the help with my question earlier x

If cats bother you you are allergic to them, avoid them, and ask your friends to wear other clothes than the ones they wear when cuddling with their cats when the come to see you. The cold triggers your wheezing cause it causes your bronchial muscles to contract (hyperreactivity) and narrow your airways. Usually you can inhale something like sodium cromoglycate which prevents this reaction but is not useful once you are wheezing, or inhale an anti wheezing drug like salbutamol BEFORE going into the cold or see a cat. Your GP should be able to help you.

Having any chest or back pain? Could be a viral infectionor pneumonia also. Get to the ER now.
