my boyfriend woke up last night and he couldnt breathe and was freezing cold. He tried to take a breath and felt like he wasnt getting any air. He also tried to use his inhaler because he does have asthma and he couldnt even hold it in for 2 seconds. Why would he not be able to breathe and be freezing cold?
Hi, It's simple to understand that how asthmatic patients can't or becomes difficult to breath. Our tracheobronchial tree consists of smooth muscle fibers, and any muscle get contracts or spasm with effect on cold and just opposite to warm or hot, it relaxes, if anyone who is already have their tracheobronchial muscles allergic to spasm(like in asthma)and in addition when they get cold air, this smooth muscles begin to contract leading to constriction of tracheobronchial tree turned into unable to get air exchange and difficulty in breathing. Inhalers makes this muscles relaxed or dilatation in medical terms within seconds. That's the beauty of allopathic Chat Doctor. Hope u understand.Goodbye
