I have Anxiety. I'm not sure if it affects my Asthma yet though as I just got diagnosed in April.

I know my tight chest makes me feel anxious...but that is more because I am worrying about an attack starting. I do yoga breathing to help with both. at least it makes me focus enough to be calm and evaluate what is going on....

Yoga does help you to breathe easier besides making your body relaxed and your mental state clear.

I have both but I don't think 1 has 2 do with the other 4 me.

Yoga means one with mind body and spirit. Yoga really helps in all areas of life mentally spiritually! Try it you will enjoy unless u an oximorone! LOL!

i have both asthma and anxiety. i think they come toghter. when i wheezer or have a asthma attack i am anxiety about the asthma attack. i try to control my anxiety. i have anxiety about going outside and other other things.

My doctor has said that I may be getting asthma attacks/episodes because of anxiety, and whenever I have any kind of attack I get anxious.

I too suffer from anxiety and when It hits my chest gets tight. I usually do an albuterol nebulizer treatment if I'm home or take a few puffs from inhaler . Sometimes I take half of a Xanax tablet and that also helps. It helps to deep breathing exercises but sometimes its hard to focus on that at the time it is all happening. Prayer helps a lot too!!

my asthma affects me and makes me stressed and in turn gives me worse asthma.i have a chest infection at the mo and my asthma is bad.

Drinking lot of water during the first symptom of asthmatic attack helps a lot .
