Asthma by itself is stressful. All of the other stresses of everyday life can actually make our asthma worse. We all can develop effective coping strategies that may help us deal with stress and improve out asthma. Your strategy may help another member of our community decrease their stress and improve their asthma. Share Your Strategies.

decrease your stress

I take a hot tea in a cozy seat. Breath, pray, asking to remember Christ is in control..focus on Him instead of the stress. Also, constantly trying to remind myself that all my worries aren't as important as I make them to be. Any situation could always be worse and always comes to an end in time. One step at a time to climb the mountain...not trying to jump to the top all at once. Taking vitamin B helps too. If I stress, my asthma gets worse...these techniques always help me.
