Learning to reduce your stress can help prevent shortness of breath and asthma attacks.
Here are some tips you might find helpful:

Regular Exercise
Exercise has been shown to reduce stress levels as well as keep your body healthy overall.
Pay Attention To Your Diet
Limiting sugar, caffeine, and alcohol intake can reduce anxiety and stress.
Asthma triggers can be different for everyone, it is important to be aware of them in order to better control your symptoms. If you are concerned about your asthma symptoms and what might be making them worse, talk to your healthcare provider.
