Re: Be aware of the September Effect

I have heard it can. I see more issues with change in temperature

and humidity. Of course pressure and temperature have an inverse

relationship. So I assume it could happen.

Hi , I get stressed just reading your message! I hope that you are feeling better now. Take care. Debbie McCollum wrote: I am not really stressed, and I was not hospitalized due to my asthma. I was hospitalized for multiple infections (due to having low white count from cancer treatments), and my asthma was acting up a little, so that is why the nurse made the comment

about the barometric changes causing so many people trouble right now. I am a low keyed, non-stressed out person, so I only get asthma attacks when I am sick. ;-) Be aware of the September Effect The September Effect was first documented bya doctor in Canada researching

Matt,

When I was hospitalized 2 weeks ago for 8 days, they said the hospital was full of asthmatics due to a severe change in barometric pressure. Do you know if that really is a documented occurrence of pressure changes causing trouble? Hmmm..... I am in Texas, so the hurricanes and tropical storms are making our climate crazy!

I am not really stressed, and I was not hospitalized due to my asthma. I was hospitalized for multiple infections (due to having low white count from cancer treatments), and my asthma was acting up a little, so that is why the nurse made the comment about the barometric changes causing so many people trouble right now.

Hi Debbie,

I am feeling MUCH better! Thank you!!! We thought my cancer had spread to my lungs due to my bad breathing and low O2 sats, but it was just an infection and not more cancer! Woo Hoo!
