Stress and asthma

Abstract: Persistent or long-term, stress and stress correlates (eg, maternal and childhood anxiety) in early life have been associated with increased risk for new-onset respiratory disorders including episodic wheezing and asthma. These findings are not limited to early life, with major negative stressful events in childhood and adolescence prospectively associated with new active asthma diagnosed in adulthood.1 In addition, although these findings highlight the incidence of new asthma, stressors, both acute and chronic, are also implicated in exacerbations among patients with asthma.
