A member asked:
What can i use to know if what i'm having is an asthma attack or an anxiety attack?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Complicated: The issue is more complicated since anxiety itself may trigger asthma. People with anxiety attack often complain of shakiness sweating, and palpitation which do not usually occur with a mild asthma attack.
