A member asked:
Is chronic anxiety preventing me from exhaling fully or is the asthma? i have extreme anxiety and stress issues and i don't know how to fix my breath.

Med eval: Because some of the symptoms can be similar - it would be important to be medically evaluated to differentiate the two. If you do have asthma, it doesn't mean that there isn't overlying anxiety.
