    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.
