Oh yes, very much! I actually have Asthma from anxiety and stress. It is fairly common too. The reason I obtained asthma was from when my grandfather died when I was about 12. Then for about a week I went through counseling with no success. I went to the doctor and they automatically knew I had asthma because of the stress and anxiety. They gave me an inhaler and I was fine and haven't had an asthma attack in 7 years.

And people with panic disorder were six times as likely as people without the anxiety condition to develop asthma over the 20 year follow-up period.The asthma link was much stronger among people who had panic disorder than in those who had infrequent panic attacks. Smokers and those with a family history of allergies were also at increased risk. Smoking is known to exacerbate both asthma and panic disorder."Asthma is a very frightening condition to have," says Mike Thomas, MD.
