Liz, I agree about the barometric pressure. Low pressure is hard on the lungs, and way back in childhood I remember how the older people would feel it "in their bones" - and now I do too. Thursday the pressure was low, with pending storms, and I was scheduled to work at the state fair - it was tough walking the grounds (I found uphill slopes I never noticed before), it felt like I was walking in thigh-deep water and I had to use my inhaler to make it through.

Providers who listen to their patients agree.
