i have anxiety i dont think i have asthma i just want to be sure because both run in my family.
birju is worng. they are linked THEY ARE SOO LINKED. i have both currently. and its like a massive cycle. i get anxious about getting asthma which gives me asthma then i get more anxious..blah blah blah blah blah. if you can take a deep breathe in and a deep breathe out with no wheezing then its anxiety but if theres wheezing its probebly asthma. i noticed when i got my anxiety slightly uner control my asthma improved a bit. it makes it worse and it makes it feel liek you cant breathe even more.
An anxiety attack can mimick an asthma attack. But during an asthma attack you certainly became anxious. the doc saying they are not link certainly does not work in an ER. Asthma attack can be scary and many people panic. you hyperventilate. To truly diagnosis asthma, you should have a pulmonary function test.
