Can asthma be brought on by anxiety?

Both kids have asthma. Both have anxiety. Today youngest was getting himself so worked up and in a state about something and ended up with chest pain. He says it was his asthma but I don’t know if it’s anxiety but I can’t judge but I’m not him...... so as an adult, can your asthma be ‘brought on’ by anxiety or getting in a state?

I would think it was more like a panic attack but asthma can be sensitive to such triggers.

Yes that is what I Was thinking. I wasn’t sure if anxiety can trigger asthma but when my eldest was young he had a panic attack that actually turned into an asthma attack so I’m unsure?
