unless you get a lung infection directly related to a mold growing within the lung tissue you will most likely only experience allergic symptoms to common molds. still these symptoms can be serious so managed treatment by a pulmonologist, or allergist, or even an good internal medicine doc is essential for someone like you.
try to keep a clean environment, change filters at home, keep excess moisture down in the home, and follow your prescibed medication regimen.
How does mold affect a person who has C.O.P.D., an asthmatic, also suffers from pollen allergies?
I agree with both people
Reply:Mold is not good for lungs. Mold loves to live in damp places. A dehumidifer can help prevent mold build up. Bleech is excellent for cleaning moldy walls or tiles. Even people who dont have asthma can get lung problems if they live in a building that has too much mold.
Reply:i have a basement apartment that gets mold, and i have asthma. The two are a very bad pair. I just got a dehumidifier and i use Damp Rid around the apt. The best thing is to just get out a moldy home, although for most that's not really possible. Good Luck, if you find anthing else that helps the asthma let me know.

Reply:mold can trigger an allergic reaction and worsen breathing esp. in those who have compromised breathing.
Reply:Mold and mildew will cause you not to be able to breathe. I have to use a dehumidifier to keep these down in my home or I would stay in the doctor's office with breathing problems.
Reply:Mold is one of the worst things for anyone with lung disease.
