Believe it or not, it used ot be believed that stress and anxiety caused asthma, or that asthma is all in your head (as you can read about in this old book). However, that old theory has since been disproven. However, while scientists now know your asthma is not all in your head, they have proven that anxiety and stress can "trigger" an asthma attack.

I can relate to this. I have asthma and have a long istory of allergies. However; STRESS can trigger my asthma attacks esp at night.
