Tips for Easing Anxiety

Many chronic illness sufferers experience anxiety, whether it’s a pre-existing condition or it developed after diagnosis. It’s quite common for anxiety to develop due to a chronic illness, and it can wreak havoc on your health.

In the case of asthma, it's common for anxiety to develop as a result of the fear of having an asthma attack. That fear and anxiety can even trigger an attack, which then contributes to anxiety.

When dealing with anxiety, especially when in conjunction with asthma, it is important to get control over your anxiety so it can’t overwhelm you and cause an attack.

There are simple methods you can try at home to help stop anxiety in its tracks, before it makes your asthma worse. The key is to remember to relax, breathe, and stop your racing thoughts.
