Asthma Induced Anxiety Versus Anxiety Induced Asthma

An important topic I wanted to discuss is the different ways anxiety and asthma can co-exists. Allow me to break it down this way. 
  1. Asthma Induced Anxiety. You typically do not experience anxiety. However, when you get short of breath this causes you to experience anxiety. You get stressed, worry, and maybe even panic due to the feeling you can't catch your breath. 
  2. Anxiety Induced Asthma. You have anxiety that you experience on a daily basis. And this causes you to worry or fear things, perhaps irrationally. For example, you forget to take your medications therefore your asthma gets worse. Or, you experience your early warning symptoms of asthma and worry about what others will think, so you fail to seek help when you need to.
