Stress can take an asthmatic by the throat and leave them short of breath and in a panic. Many respiratory conditions are worsened by the experience of stress. Finding ways to maintain your cool and stay serene will go a long way to helping manage asthma symptoms.

"Stress is considered as one of the most common part of your routine life, with or without asthma. That is why, it is very important to explore effective ways to manage stress associated with your asthma. So, learning various methods to de-stress your life, can help you to prevent all those disturbing asthma symptoms and you can easily avoid an asthma attack repeatedly."

If it's possible, de-clutter your life. Cut out burdensome things that upset you and leave you harried and pressured if you can. Rest when you need to, instead of pushing yourself.

Be aware that emotional stress can cause physical consequences. If you are prone to anxious or pessimistic thoughts, these can also take a toll on you and trigger asthma flareups.
