hi everyone. so the other night I was laying in bed and all of a sudden found it hard to breath. i felt like I needed to cough but could not catch my breath. i went to an out if hours doctor and my own doctor and both said my lungs were 100% . that there was no problems with my airways by listening with a stethoscope. Could that mean I dont have asthma and that I probably just had a panic attack. Thanks in advance. just need to put my mind at ease x

    If sounds like stress and anxiety. I use to suffer like that but really trying to not over worry when it happens as I know your thoughts make it worse. meditation on YouTube may help you as it helps you learn to breath mindfully. Hope this helps as its normal when your anxious I promise. The trick is not to fight it but distract your mind with gentle exercise and mindfulness apps. Good luck x
