Is asthma partly mental?!
Question: Is asthma partly mental!?
I was having a bad attack after a long bike ride and a friend told me that half of it is mental!. Is that true!?
I wasn't thinking of it when I was riding!. After we got home I was having trouble breathing and it wouldn't stop!. It was such an effort to breathe and my chest hurt!. I wasn't getting any relief by breathing!. Had to take my nebulizer and three quarters of the way thru the treatment it started to calm down!.

Answers:
No it is not mental at all!. I think that they say it's mental is because we are anxious when we aren't breathing well, and we have to calm ourselves down to breath easier, and it's the meds that help calm down the asthma attack!. So tell your friend that it's all in her/his head when they have a sprained ankle or whatever!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Asthma is surely a physical, rather than mental, condition!.
However, mental things can make it worse!. For example, stress is an asthma trigger for some people; when they are stressed, they have trouble breathing, even a full-on attack!. (mind you they did not decide to have an attack - their body did that for them!.)
And, if you get anxious or panicked during an asthma attack, you can make the attack worse than it would have been if you were able to remain calm!. (try to cry during a bad attack - not so helpful!.)Www@Answer-Health@Com

I don't think it's partly mental!. I just think the people are mental when they say asthma was caused by this, or caused by that!. Asthma is a genetic disorder, and that's all!. If your genes were better, you wouldn't have it!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
