Hi Marisa I wondered if you could help me. Can asthma be caused by stress? Because until just...
under a year ago I never experienced any asthma symptoms, but prior to that I had been experiencing a LOT of anxiety - death in he family, then I became preoccupied with my own health and became a kind of hypochondriac, constantly worrying everyday about my health. I eventually reduced my anxiety levels, but then the asthma kicked in. It started with a little bit of breathlessness, but soon developed into full blown asthma attacks lasting about an hour each time, breathlessness, wheezing, then coughing up mucus afterwards. My doctor put me on Ventolin, but it did virtually nothing. I am now o
As far as I know asthma isnt caused by stress BUT if a person has asthma stress can trigger it or make it worse
I'm so sorry, I didn't notice this question.
Asthma can't be caused by stress, but stress and tension can make existing asthma much worse. Perhaps you had a mild asthma all along and didn't notice it - if you've always been slightly out of breath, it just seems normal to you!
However, Ventolin is very effective against asthma, IF you're using it correctly. As I said in my article - you MUST wait a minute or two before taking the second puff, to give the first dose time to take effect. Think of the first puff as a "primer", it's the second puff that does the real work.
I've added a video to the article explaining correct technique for the Ventolin inhaler - please watch it and make sure you're doing it right.
If you're doing everything right and Ventolin is having no impact on your wheezing attack, it's highly unlikely you have asthma. It must be something else.
Yes it can. Any doctor will tell you that stress could be a factor in an asthma attack.
My nine year old suffers from asthma and school was stressing her out. When I decided to home-school her because it was becoming overwhelming, her asthma attacks were less recent.
She goes to an astham and allergy specialist who also sent her to a child psychologist that adviced reading her anxiety away. (thank God we don't like pills in our family).
So far she is doing better. We meditate, pray and read good books to keep those anxious monsters away.
I am planning on starting a yoga class to teach her yoga. I have researched the exercise and it helps with many mental issues especially the world famous virus STRESS>
Good Luck,

I jumped on the bandwagon and signed up for Market Samurai.Having spent some time playing with it, I'd advise people to think twice about signing up.I can see the value, however having used the rank checker and SEO competition for my websites, all it's achieved is to make me want to throw in the...

There's a significant percentage of Hubbers for whom HubPages is a writers' community first and foremost, and the loss of comments has shattered that community. While Samantha has said comments are "on the list" to be reinstated, realistically it's likely to be months (due to the upcoming...

I really don't know what to do...keep using Amazon capsules or change to Ebay due to the easier report in HubPages. Help would be good in this case.
