Hi
Over the last 12 years or so, I have had episodes of wheezing, coughing and a tight chest if I have had a particularly nasty virus that goes to my chest. The first was is 1998 when I was living in London. I ended up on inhalers and gave up smoking which I have not done since.
I am just recovering from horrible virus and am still taking becatide. My doctor insists on saying I am asthmatic although I do not think that I am. My problem is that this has set me off in to an anxiety spiral again and I can't stop thinking about my breathing.
I deep breathe all the time and sigh and yawn a lot. My chest aches, I still have a slight cough and post nasal drip and I clear my throat all the time. I feel really anxious about having asthma and I can't really tell if my breathing problems are to do with asthma or panic breathing. I don't know what to do really. Any words of wisdom?
