What Exactly Is Asthma?

Asthma is a condition which is often chronic that can impact a patient’s airways, causing them to become inflamed, swollen, narrow and even produce extra mucus. This can make breathing difficult and when treated improperly, result in death in certain cases. Chest pain, coughing, wheezing and breathing difficulties are all common signs of asthma.


How Does Stress Impact Asthma?

Stress has the amazing ability to impact most every part of our body depending upon the situation and severity, asthma is no different. We recommend trying to implement relaxation and stress-reducing techniques into your day-to-day life. Light exercise, yoga, meditation, mindfulness, eating healthy, enjoying the outdoors with friends, gardening, getting fresh air, soaking in a bit of sunlight (in a healthy way), etc. are all wonderful ways to reduce stress.
