Being diagnosed with asthma, managing chest infections, attending clinic appointments, changing life roles, can all be challenging.
Dealing with these challenges can trigger emotional change – worry, stress, anxiety, frustration, irritability, low mood being some of the emotions experienced. These emotional changes can subtle or be sudden, and can trigger the anxiety response.
