Hi Marisa I wondered if you could help me. Can asthma be caused by stress? Because until just?

I'm so sorry, I didn't notice this question.

Asthma can't be caused by stress, but stress and tension can make existing asthma much worse. Perhaps you had a mild asthma all along and didn't notice it - if you've always been slightly out of breath, it just seems normal to you!

However, Ventolin is very effective against asthma, IF you're using it correctly. As I said in my article - you MUST wait a minute or two before taking the second puff, to give the first dose time to take effect. Think of the first puff as a "primer", it's the second puff that does the real work.

I've added a video to the article explaining correct technique for the Ventolin inhaler - please watch it and make sure you're doing it right.

If you're doing everything right and Ventolin is having no impact on your wheezing attack, it's highly unlikely you have asthma. It must be something else.

As far as I know asthma isnt caused by stress BUT if a person has asthma stress can trigger it or make it worse.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
