Growing up in Michigan I never experienced allergy symptoms. In 1989, I moved to St. Petersburg, Florida and immediately began experiencing asthma. Because I am more of a summer person than winter, I have stuck it out in Florida. I have taken allegy shots for six years and am on Advair & Spiriva daily. However, at sunrise and sunset, I experience tightness of the chest, wheezing and general fatigue. This phenmoena is exacerbated by exercise (the more strenuous the more severe the reaction) the prior day.
Interestingly, I have made several trips to Atlanta, GA. This locale is pruportedly one of the worst areas for asthma sufferers. However, I feel fine there, even during the spring pollen season. I am contemplating a move there to exeprience a better quality of life. — Bradley, Florida
