Stress leads to anxiety and anxiety leads to panic attacks. This condition, when uncured and continued for a long time, can make dangerous alterations in the respiratory system of an individual. Stress leads to clogging of respiratory tubes and hence causes the occurrence of the following: changes in breathing patterns, risk of asthmatic problems and rapid or shallow breathing. The normal reaction to stress is rapid breathing, breathlessness and in some cases, hyperventilation. If this is prolonged, it can cause upper respiratory tract infections.
