A member asked:
Can you tell me what is the difference between breathing problems caused by a panic attack and asthma?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Panic attack: Panic attack shortness of breath is psychologic and not physiologic. The shortness of breath with asthma is due to constriction of the bronchial tree diameter and increased airway resistance to air flow.
