Does anyone know if Asthma can be worse with anxiety issues?

Or does the breathing treatments, and inhaler cause anxiety?

Can these exercises and relaxing cd's help with asthma as well? Can calmer breathing help when having a asthma attack?

I just read today how anxiety can trigger asthma symptoms. http://www.webmd.com/asthma/fe...a-and-anxiety?page=2

I have a mild form of asthma and during the past few weeks my lungs have been more sensitive and I have been coughing more. This has coincided with increased anxiety and a few panic attacks I have had.

Learning that anxiety was the cause of what felt like worsening asthma was very relieving to me because I know that as I deal with my anxiety that my asthma will get better as well.

I hope this helps. Take care!
