Can anxiety cause wheezing?

Dr. Bernard Seif answered

Specializes in Clinical Psychology

Anxiety: can cause wheezing but so can other conditions. It is imperative that you see your doctor. If there is a medical condition it needs to be addressed. Then you can see a clinical psychologist to help w/the psychological aspects of the condition or treat the anxiety disorder. Peace and good health.
