I guess that's a yes. Asthma is the worst component of CF. It really gets in the way. I will actually avoid situations now that will trigger attatcks cause I kinds know now what does trigger these kinds of attatcks of coughing. We can't avoid everything I know but I call it self preservation. For instance, a toxic relationship always gets my asthma going. So I try to avoid toxic relationships. I also have learned yoga, and meditation which have taught me breathing techniques to help in times of high stress.
Job interiviews , tough,
New friends, Nervousness,
New Enviroments.
Anger,
Frustration
Depression
Etc I could go on and on. All triggers for coughing attacks.
Hope this helped
