According to an article on guide2bristol.com, many asthma suffers are stuck in a cycle where anxiety leads to asthma which in turn leads to more anxiety.
It was claimed that hypnotherapists can help sufferers control their asthma by asking them to visualise a future where they are coping perfectly with stressful situations.
By thinking about the solutions to problems rather than the problems themselves that the anxiety/asthma cycle can be broken down.
A source from curinganxietytoday.com claimed that those who struggling with any form of anxiety should seek help from a professional before their symptoms get worse.
It read: "Early treatment for anxiety is key and most sufferers of anxiety don't go to a therapist until they have developed depression or substance abuse problems as a result of their anxiety.''
