Welcome to Asthma Cures.com. This page exists to share our discoveries about lessening the direct prominence of anxiety induced symptoms for asthma sufferers.
We are proud to share our discoveries with you on this page. It is our hope that by applying these suggestions to your lives, you too, will have a better quality of life. To begin with, lets understand the differences between anxiety and fear. These two emotions have somehow become; very erroneously - synonymous, in our culture. In truth, though, they are actually two very different emotions.
Fear, firstly, is a normal and necessary emotion. It warns us of impending immediate danger. It is usually based on rational thinking and experience. It is a good thing and should be regarded with respect. Anxiety, on the other hand, is quite the opposite. Although it is a normal and natural emotion, it is usually not based on rational thinking and experience. Anxiety is fear to the nth degree. It is non-rational and nebulous. It has also become common knowledge that anxiety or stress (the correct synonym) is major key factor in promoting and prolonging asthmatic symptoms.
Since fear and anxiety are both normal human emotions, to simply suggest elimination would be incorrect. Rather, a good solid emotional management plan would be much more appropriate. Also, since fear is an 'in the moment' emotion, there is very little we can or wish to do about fear. Anxiety, however, is the culprit in our asthma symptoms, and there is much we can do in the way of managing anxiety.
Managing anxiety is actually quite simple, so simple in fact, that many of us very intelligent human beings miss it totally. Perhaps we miss it because we don't isolate anxiety properly from fear, or perhaps from any other of the other multitude of overwhelming emotions that may be going on, at any particular moment.
Once isolated, anxiety can be treated as any other emotion. Anxiety doesn't have to roam freely throughout our lives, causing breathless havoc whenever it chooses. Neither, since it is actually a normal human emotion, does anxiety have to be medicated away. No, we may choose to deal with it differently. We may choose to manage it just like we manage the rest of our emotions.
The old adage goes, there is a time and a place for everything. This fact holds true for anxiety. There is a correct time to be anxious. Probably the best time to be anxious would be during the strongest time of your day. Plan a time during that strong period and give it all you've got. Even plan what you are going to be anxious about and then do it! Do the best you can at being anxious during the time frame you set out, then stop. If troublesome thoughts arise jot them into your anxiety plan for tomorrow.
Random anxiety also produces the same fight or flight drug as fear does. If it is free to produce this drug at it's own will we will constantly be under the influence of it. Oddly, adrenaline is the drug that we need to counteract our asthmatic symptoms. Since our bodies become highly tolerant to adrenaline by being exposed to it so often by our fight or flight emotions of anxiety and fear. As time goes on, we need stronger dosages to combat our breathless symptoms.
Anxiety produced adrenalin is actually a drug addiction. As all addictions are progressive in nature, more worry is required to produce the same amount of adrenalin. This makes the anxiety cycle repeat and repeat in an ever tightening curve. Thus the craving for more adrenalin is satisfied by more anxiety. Medicating the anxiety which is created to produce the drug adrenalin usually only creates a secondary addiction to the medicating drug or behavior, and is counter productive.
Many asthma sufferers will experience withdrawal when they attempt to manage their anxiety. This withdrawal comes in many forms and is similar to a compulsive gamblers withdrawal when they stop gambling. The adrenalin that the body has been used to receiving by the act of compulsive worrying is no longer available. The short term discomfort of this is replaced by the calmness that the lack of adrenaline produces and freer breathing results.
