We are all different. ..but I would guess that it is highly likely that stress will exacerbate ur asthma. Stress anxiety and panic are scary enough..add asthma....it can become very very frightening. Use ur medication/inhalers as recommended. .but seek advice if ur symptoms continue to be unrelieved with ur usual dozes. Xx

Hi Meg

I am not a doctor but anxiety could be making you asthma worse or maybe feel worse as anxiety affects the way we feel we are breathing as well as asthma does

I know you take your peak flow on a regular basis as well as your inhalers if your readings are good it could be anxiety you are feeling the most

If you are worried you could ask your GP

Love

I find that my asthma gets worse when I am stressed and anxious. Keep taking your inhalers as recomended and if you find this doesn't work on a regualar basis go and see your GP.

Anxiety could be making your asthma worse or turning it into panic breathing or panic attacks. I also suffer from asthma and anxiety.
