I've had a bad breathing week. Frequent bouts of SOB. When I need to go shopping, I remote start the car so most of the high humidity has been removed. That helps.

But most of the time I'm in the house w/the A/c on keeping it a pleasant 76-78F and humidity near 50%. Yet, I walk across the room and SOB pops up.

However this past week we've had very stormy weather with outside humidity in the 90%++ range.

Leaving the one factor I can't control... atmospheric pressure... could that be an issue with respect to SOB? Typically when the "storm" is by you the pressure drops, and this past week it has been that way for several days.
