so i suffer bad anxiety and particularly health anxiety, this and the asthma started around the same time 10 years ago. Now i am about 3/4 stone heavier than i have ever been and have acid reflux also. This warm humid weather is playing havoc with me, my asthma peak flow etc is ok on oxygen level but my throat just feels tight and dry
Anyone have any tips or coping methods

Aside from what you can do to help with your anxiety around your health that only makes things like breathing issues feel worse, stick to the practical stuff for asthma. If you need to pace yourself or rest, do it. Drink plenty of fluids. If the hottest periods of the day bother you, stay in the shade if you can. Have a fan to help cool you down and help you feel like you have more breathable air.

John Lewis online sell these really fantastic portable fans for £12; you can charge them via USB, and they adjust for tabletop or handheld use.

I hate the humidity, and mine's been a tremendous help.
