A member asked:

I feel like i have asthma only when under emotional stress or when i step out into hot weather, can this be asthma or some other stress response?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It is possible: You need to get checked by your doctor to rule out anxiety disorder and other causes. Stress, change in weather, allergies colds, viral illness are some triggers of asthma. Need more info to make a definite diagnosis.
