Facebook: a new trigger for asthma?

Doctors are warning that Facebook could trigger extreme stress reactions after a teenager suffered asthma attacks caused by seeing his ex-girlfriend online.

The depressed 18-year-old, who was denied access to her site after the break-up, was able to log back in using a made-up nickname.


But the shock of seeing her brought on an asthma attack, which was repeated each time he looked at his ex-girlfriend’s profile.
