After going to America on holiday.

Hi, my first time going to America to visit my brother and his lovely wife, firstly check how hot it’s going to be, my walking is terrible as I also suffer from a condition called flat back the pain can be bad, as for my copd I found the heat did help, I took my medication with me. I would say wear a hat for the heat it definitely helped me, I would say to take your time, we go on holiday thinking we will be ok, the heat affects copd just like the cold we get in the uk we’ve already had snow. Stay safe folks.Anna

  1. Hi . I'm glad the trip went well, aside from your issue with walking. Thanks for sharing your experience and your insights. I hope you are able to visit again soon! Best wishes. - Lori (Team Member)

  2. Can I ask where in the US you visited, Anna? I'm glad you had a good time! The climate can be so different even just a few hours apart. Some people with COPD do better in dryer parts of the country, while others prefer more moisture. I'm glad it was a good trip! -Melissa, team member
