A member asked:

I have asthma and anxiety and it is not under control. my asthma/panic attacks have been constant for days or longer. i feel like i'm suffocating. ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Treat & defeat both: Panic attacks and asthma attacks can feel very similar from a respiratory standpoint. Also, each issue can make the other worse. Asthma control comes down to eliminating or reducing environmental/physical triggers and taking appropriate medication. Panic control comes with significant therapy/counseling to dig up the roots of how you feel and why. Meds for panic can be helpful but only short term.
