as a respiratory therapist, i can relate that cold air tends to increase difficulties in breathing, but especially for asthmatics. emerdeen has the solution for outdoor activities in the cold.

Remember – in cold weather your arteries and blood vessels contract – an added heart attack danger for snow shovelers and I would imagine bicyclists too, regardless of condition. Though no doctor, I would also speculate that the contraction of the arteries, veins and blood vessels in 20 degree F weather would result in an increase in blood pressure and heart rate at the same cadence rate and on the same terrain than say at 85 degrees F.

Hi Robert,it could be asthma, for this you must go to a doctor for tests. When it is cold your body works harder to keep warm, this is why you must wear enough clothes. Get it checked out, it makes sense.

Riding in the cold I get very short of breath and my heart go up to the 160’s and we are only going 20 to 21. Is this an athletic induced asthma. I believe I have never had asthma.
