Your winter wellbeing questions
Keeping well during the autumn and winter months is really important for people with lung conditions.
In my previous blog, I shared that we’re seeing a change in my GP surgery. Autumn has brought colds and viruses, which can cause runny noses, sore throats, coughs and chest infections. As well as making people feel unwell, they can also cause a flare-up of people’s asthma or other lung conditions.
In my upcoming winter wellbeing webinar, I’ll be touching on a lot of things that we can do to keep well during these colder months. I’ll also be answering questions and queries that you’ve been sending in through social media and emails.
Some of the questions I’ll be covering in detail include:
How can I avoid catching viruses this winter?
Am I more likely to catch a virus if I smoke?
If I feel unwell, when should I seek help?
You can sign up now to join the webinar and watch along with everyone else. It’s completely free, and there are a number of time slots, so you should find one that suits you.
I’m looking forward to seeing you all for my winter wellbeing webinar. Let me know in the comments box below if there are any specific things you’d like covered.
