If you’re an asthmatic, how can you tell the difference between an asthma attack and a panic attack?
April 1st, 2008 | by admin |
I’ve had asthma for approximately 14 years but it’s gradually getting worse as I get older and my attacks are more frequent. I’ve been put on additional preventative medicine but have always wondered about the difference between asthma and anxiety/panic attacks. I’m not sure if I experience the latter because my asthma does scare me on occasion. Is it normal to get scared during an attack? How can you tell if it’s just a little fear or full blown anxiety?
Things I have been experiencing lately are: wheezy cough, chest soreness and aches, breathlessness, and feeling as if weights are sitting on my chest. Sometimes I feel achey and weak all over. At times, I get frustrated when my asthma is out of control because it’s hard to breathe but I do not hyperventilate or experience a racing heart. I just have difficulty getting a breath and I become really achey, especially after I take my rescue inhaler.
What am I experiencing and is it typical for an asthma attack or panic attack?
