Asthma can cause : Anxiety and anxiety can cause difficulty in breathing. You are pre-disposed to having asthma, your anxiety could trigger an asthma attack. You need to learn some relaxation techniques and practice them often. Put these to use as soon as you start feeling anxious or are having difficulty breathing.
