Show Notes

Psychosomatics is the study of the relationship between the mind and the body and how psychological factors can affect physical health. In the context of the lungs, psychosomatic factors can play a role in the development and progression of lung disorders.

Some research suggests that psychological stress and anxiety may contribute to the development of asthma and other respiratory conditions. Stress and anxiety may lead to the activation of the body's stress response, which can cause changes in the respiratory system and lead to symptoms such as shortness of breath and coughing.
