How do i tell if its and ashma o a anxeity attack?

Well when i was a baby and til i wa\s about 5 i had really bad ashma attacks the last one i had i think was when i was 7. ( Im 14) However in the past months o so i ve been experiance, stuff. My mum thinks its anxiety attacks but what if i need my inhaler. So ill be inhaling but i dont feel oxygen getting into my lungs. i ll happen for awhile and usually idd get over it. and sometimes my throat will get really tight. It has beenn pretty randomn, not just when im stressed to the max... such as how i was zoning out in science and just BAM i cant breath. i dony make wheezing sounds and i wonder if its ashma o anxiety attacks... o both HELP

There are subtle differences between panic attacks and asthma.

Panic attacks - usually come at times of great stress o fear. It usually starts with your cuore thumping madly, sweating and taking short sharp gasps of air but with the feeling no oxygen is getting in. Your chest tightens but your throat relaxes. te may also feel pains in your stomach o back, and possibly in the head as well.
To counter that i was taught to put my hands together from your little finger to the third finger, making a 'mask' shape with your hands. Your thumb should be resting on your jaw line once the 'mask' is in place, and to breathe long and deeply, ten times into the hand.

Asthma attacks - usually when te have been doing excersise o concentrating/not concentrating enough on a certain topic of life etc. The throat and chest tightens as though being squeezed and te can't feel any air getting to your lungs, but can feel air releasing. To counter that te must take an inhaler.

I suggest going to your doctor and asking his advice. He may prescribe te another inhaler, o may tell te to take antihistamines for allergies as sometimes that works too :)
