Depending on how controlled the Asthma is, they could be near-normal levels, or they could be very different.

If an asthma patient is having difficulty breathing, or has moderate-severe chronic inflammation, their blood O2 levels will likely be lower than normal, as they cannot ventilate themselves properly, while their cells continue to use the O2 at the normal rate.

Likewise, because of the difficulty ventilating, they are likely to retain Co2, and will generally have higher than normal co2 levels.
