Hey everyone,
It's another rough night for me today. :( my anxiety has been well controlled for the last 6 months or so, but 2 weeks ago it came back with a vengeance. I had a really bad attack which shook me, and ever since i've felt really all over the place.
What concerns me at the moment is the effect my anxiety is having on my asthma. My asthma has got a lot worse since that panic attack two weeks ago - in the last three days i've had to take my reliever over ten times because i've heard slight wheezing when exhaling and have started panicking. I've gotten to the point where i'm so scared of having an asthma attack that the mild wheezing just won't go away. I started taking sertraline too 3 days ago, and i'm convinced this is adding to the paranoia.
Can asthma be affected by anxiety in such a way? I'm such a hypochondriac it's driving me crazy!
