To stay well with asthma, it’s important to pay attention to stress levels and emotional health. Strong emotions, like anger, fear or excitement, along with stress, can actually trigger asthma symptoms.   Mental health issues, like depression and anxiety, are also common in those with asthma. Therefore, it’s essential to be aware of your thoughts and feelings and seek help when you need it. Properly managing stress and breathing during periods of intense emotions can help reduce the risk of an asthma attack.
