Each year the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America names the Top Ten Asthma Capitals for the year. This year, Atlanta Georgia, took the top spot, with Philadelphia, PA, and Raliegh, NC, second and third.

The Asthma and Allergy Foundation says:

Don’t Move – Improve: Experts agree that people can’t move away from their asthma since every city in America has a variety of risk factors.

Click Asthma Capitals 2007 to see the whether your state ranked among the Top 10 Capitals (mind did!), as well as information about this annual research project, and links to more detailed information.

You can find information and links to last year’s studies as well as previous years on our February 18, 2006 post, Climate and asthma — Worst places to live.

I was raised in southern New Jersey and always had sinus trouble. It all went away when I moved to Long Beach, CA. When I moved to Phoenix and Prescot, AZ I had a mild problem as there are 2 rainy seasons and it gets humid in the summer when it rains. Six years ago, we moved to Macon, GA and I have been dying ever since. I have since been tested for allergies and am allergic to molds and mildrew.

I’ve got to move to find some relief. Where can I move to find some relief?? – Sandra, Georgia

I was born with chronic asthma as much I got older it got more worse. in 2001 my asthma got really bad I was always in the hospital, I was admitted like once a month or sometimes once every 2-3 months. Then in 2002 I was getting asthma alot I was injecting myself with epipen but there times that I almost passed away. Then I couldn’t take it anymore I decided to move to Florida because of this illness.

Then I got to Florida I was still getting asthma but in 2005 it got really life threatning that I was going to the hospital every two weeks (more…)

Houston mold and mildew; Atlanta and San Diego

Houston has a serious mold / mildew problem. I grew up here, and my allergies peak during Apr-June and Sept-Nov. Mold is very high in Houston during these months. When I lived in Atlanta my allergies rarely bothered me. When I go out west, I never seem to have problems. Curious on how it is in San Diego. — GDM, Texas

Cleveland, Ohio and Atlanta, Georgia

I am from Cleveland, OH where I had hay fever and the occasional sinus infection. In 1998 I moved to the metro Atlanta area. My allergies proved to worsen and I developed asthma. I cannot play outside with my kids and suffer frequent sinusitis that often becomes bronchitis. This weekend my ear drum even ruptured. This is after all kinds of meds and 5 years of allergy shots. I want to move back to Cleveland, Oh to at least be able to play outside with my kids. — BAM, Ohio
