Winter can be life and breath
When you live with a lung condition, winter can be life and breath. But breathing seasier starts with the right support – and we’re here for you.
At Asthma + Lung UK, we know how difficult winter can be – which is why we’ve created your free, personalised Winter Guide.
The winter months can make it hard to breathe. And when breathing is hard, nothing is easy.
But we're on your side, no matter what the season holds.
If you have a lung condition, winter can be more than just cold snaps and long nights. People with lung conditions can end up seriously unwell over winter – as seasonal triggers like cold air, colds and flu and damp and mould make it harder to breathe.
In fact, if you have a lung condition, your risk of ending up in A&E doubles in winter.
But we want to support you to stay safe this winter.
We want to help everyone with a lung condition to stay well this winter. Sign up to get your Winter Wellbeing Guide, tailored to you and your needs.
Answer a few short questions about your lung condition and your symptoms over winter and you'll get free, personalised health advice straight to your inbox. And if you’re not sure what affects your breathing in winter, we can help you work it out.
You’ll:
- find out what’s causing your symptoms over winter.
- learn why these triggers can make your lung condition worse.
- get personalised tips to protect your lungs and reduce your risk of becoming unwell.
- discover more ways to look after your wellbeing over winter.
Take our short quiz and start your journey to winter wellbeing.
For people with lung conditions, this isn’t just a season. This is life and breath.
Having a lung condition during winter is like having a full-time job. The cold weather and viruses have a massive effect on my health and leave me struggling to breathe.
