Answers:
Yeah hay does that. I've helped on my grandparents farm ever since I was little and even though I don't have asthma it effected my breating and made me cough. It helps if in heavy dusy situations to wear a dust mask that you can get in any home improvement store and make sure that when you can get some fresh air.
well the hay doesnt help since its particles are getting lodged in your respiratory tract, thats why the coughing. u can wear a mask, that should help
I am not sure, but if it is making your asthma worse then you need to contact your doctor and ask them..
cover ur mouth and nose
With asthma you are not supposed to have pets. You are allergic to dust and animals. It will make your asthma worse by being around horses.
see a doctor
Talk to your doctor about maybe putting you on steroids for the rest of the season. The hotter it is the worse you're going to feel no matter what. If you're really having issues I wouldn't suggest to continue doing until it's under control. You might have a really bad asthma attack. You could try benadryl too, it might be allergy related. Inhaler's are usually pretty good to for the coughing which is probably being caused by some sort of airway constriction which is why you're having the chest pain. If you can't get to the doctor anytime soon, I would at least try some over the counter allergy meds.
See your doctor about allergy shots. In general asthmatics should stay away from the particulates in barns and animals in general can bring on an attack. You could try wearing a respirator, and see if that helps you.
See you doctor an you your inhaler when necessary
