A member asked:
Can anxiety-induced wheezing be treated with asthma inhalers? i've had wheezing for months and my doc thinks it's my anxiety, but inhalers works on it
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Of course it can: Bronchospasm- wheezing, tight chest, cough, can have a number of triggers: allergies, windy weather, colds, and anxiety is one of them. Inhalers can be helpful with this condition , no matter what the cause. if it happens frequently you may want to see a pulmonary specialist or allergist to see if there might be other triggers than anxiety
