Furthermore, 46% of the tests carried out during that period found people were not controlling their asthma well.<br \/>\nIf you have asthma and are prone to hay fever, or find your symptoms flare-up in spring and summer, it might be worth checking out some of the apps that monitor and alert you to pollen forecasts. And if you&#8217;re struggling to keep symptoms under control, speak to your nurse or GP.<br \/>\nDepending where you travel to, a holiday could mean a new set of triggers, especially if you&#8217;re in a new environment and climate that&#8217;s different to what you&#8217;re used to. Other people may find that changes in routine, location, temperature, or even air travel, can make their asthma symptoms worse<br \/>\n&#8220;The best thing people can do to prevent symptoms and attacks when they&#8217;re on holiday is to keep on top of their medicine routine.<br \/>\nAsthma UK has more advice about travelling with asthma on their website it&#8217;s always a good idea to carry your inhalers (and all your spare inhalers) in your hand luggage, in case your inhaler runs out or if your checked-in baggage goes missing.<br \/>\nSummer is all about letting your hair down and enjoying life &#8211; and there&#8217;s no reason your asthma should stop you. But, from smoky barbecues to greater exposure to air pollution if you&#8217;re pounding the pavements on days out, it&#8217;s a good idea to be aware of any potential summertime asthma triggers.<br \/>\nref: http:\/\/www.nwemail.co.uk\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do your asthma symptoms change with the seasons?
