Does Asthma Cause Claustrophobia?

I'm asthmatic and have claustrophobia. Does being asthmatic necessarily suggest you're going to suffer, also, from claustrophobia? Possibly. I check out about this in Prevention publication. It appears that current research studies reveal that there is a striking connection in between asthma and psychological issues, i.e. depression and stress and anxiety. If you've ever been in a circumstance where you have actually not been able to breath, it's not hard then for the mind to theorize, "small location, no air." In the last year or so I've, regrettably, had some anxiety attacks caused by asthma. For instance, throughout our trip to Russia I obtained some bug. When we returned, I was ill for an excellent 6 weeks with coughing, sinus issues etc. The coughing aggravates the asthma. I'm going to my allergist, taking all kinds of stuff and still having trouble breathing. One night I get up in a sweat and am gasping for air.

I can not picture exactly what it would be like to have a fully blown panic attack. Back to asthma and claustrophobia. A couple of years ago while in Rome (oh, another getaway dropper), we chose to go to the top of St. Peter's Basilica.

As you get closer to the top of the dome, you are now flexing to the right since the staircase resembles the dome. Help!!! Thankfully, every so lots of steps there was a little slit of a window. Now to go back down ... Over the years I've climbed up into the Great Pyramid of Giza, gone underground in the Valley of the Kings, gone into caves in Borneo (huge ones), and had a Cat Scan.

My asthma is nearly, ALMOST, under control. Enveloped by water and breathing through a little tube? I do not believe so ...
