Hi all,
I've had a pretty rough week, first a chest infection and asthma type breathing problems (which I've never had before) which merged into a head cold. Took steroids last week but asthma symptoms came back last night, seen a doctor who gave me an inhaler for if this happens again, but I have to wait 6 weeks to have proper breathing tests. Been told to stay indoors as cold air may trigger it and to avoid exercise(another possible trigger). I go back to work tomorrow, scared and upset right now. I don't know why I'm having these asthma symptoms having never been diagnosed with asthma, i wake up in the night wheezing (which I read is a sign of poorly controlled asthma and more likely to be fatal). Panicking to be honest :(
Does anyone out there have asthma and anxiety?
How do you cope?
