Yes. I know of a person whose lungs were damaged after a long bout with "walking" pneumonia. She was 31, and after she recuperated from pneumonia, she was diagnosed with asthma and has had to take asthma medications and ventilator treatments ever since.
ANSWER
Yes, you can. However, usually the occurence of asthma is not seemingly overnight. Commonly, people believe that the symptoms just started one day, when in actuality, these symptoms probably have been showing up in your lifestyle for many years. Although, a change in lifestyle and or in weight can cause asthma to become prominent in someone who was previously healthy.
Also, asthma usually can be mistaken for other health problems as well, and should be brought up in a conversation with your doctor.
Hope this was helpful it toook me like 9 hrs to type! im a slow typer :-)

Should people suffering from asthma clean air ducts more often?
It depends on what substances trigger their asthma attacks. Allergens commonly found in homes and in the air ducts are pollen, dander, and mold spores. Note that I didn't say that mold grows in air ducts. It happens, but not nearly as often as you might have been led to believe.
Mold spores, however, are nearly impossible to prevent in the home environment, and it is inhaling these mold spores that can trigger asthma attacks in individuals sensitive to asthma.
Air duct cleaning can be an important part of the asthma management plan. The main focus of any plan should be on reducing exposure to allergenic triggers.
Especially if they have tried everything else and they are still having asthma attacks, air duct cleaning could make all the difference. This is even more important to consider if they did air duct cleaning in the home a couple of years ago already, and they have noticed a steady decline in the success of their allergy management.
Then it might just be time to clean the air ducts again, especially the blower motor and the evaporation coils on the heating and cooling equipment, which can become encrusted with allergenic particles that get past the filters.
If the asthma sufferer does not have allergies, and reacts instead to changes in temperature or the like, then it is unlikely that air duct cleaning would help too much.

Why does baby hyperventilate during sleep?
Not just babies, almost everybody does. There is too little physical activity during sleep to generate enough CO2 to compensate overbreathing, so many people hyperventilate mildly, usually in the morning hours (that explains why asthmatics have problems often at that time). Mouth breathing makes hyperventilation even much worse. Babies (as well as adults) with stuffed noses sleep with open mouths during the night and overbreathing will cause their noses to be stuffed even more. So the key is to keep the mouth shut and the nose open. Nasal breathing decreases the chance of hyperventilation.
How do you know if you have sports asthma or if its just weight related?

Can people get high off of an inhaler the kind of inhaler that you use when you have asthma?
Not really in the typical sense. However, albuterol is a stimulant like adrenaline so you may get jittery and experience heart palpitations. I would definitely not recommend overusing an inhaler as it can probably hurt your heart and lungs if you overdose.
What does it mean if you get out of breath more easily at age 13?
You may have asthma. Have your MD check.
Does it hurt when you breath during a asthma attack?
It can hurt. But different people experience different symptoms. And even one person can have different kinds of asthma attacks ranging from mild coughing to painful tightness.
If you want to get a sense of how it feels, take a really deep breath. As deep as you can and hold it for a few seconds. Then, without exhaling at all, try as hard as you can to inhale more (really hard, until your lungs are burning), hold it, and then do it again. But imagine that it feels that way through the entire breath, but sharp enough that I can't stop coughing.
Other attacks don't feel like that at all. I don't cough much, but I'm just out of breath, tired, uncomfortable, and I can hear the wheezing but am not feeling it a lot.
Can you have asthma and still use Adderall?
There are people who use Adderall with asthma, but the answer you're looking for won't be online. It's up to you and your doctor.
The main problem in asthma is the constriction of airways in the lungs- namely bronchioles.
The stimulus can be allergic, psychologic, or other.
Adderall, as a central nervous system (brain and nerves) stimulant, carries the potential to promote constriction of the smooth muscle around bronchiles and alveoli, and possibly exacerbate asthma.
If you're doing so recreationally, I'd personally advise against it.
Can you have an asthma attack caused from excitement or from getting scared?
Yes you can. The adrenaline rush can bring on an asthma attack if you are prone to asthma and not taking your meds properly. My sister had her first asthma attack at 34 when under a great deal of stress, and she had to be hospitalised it was so severe.

Where is best treatment for Asthma?
The term 'asthma' is taken from the Greek meaning ' panting' or 'labored breathing'. Asthma is a condition characterized by a paroxysmal wheezing respiration dyspnoea (difficulty in breathing), mainly expiratory. Asthma is a disease that intermittently influences the lungs. When it attacks, the lungs become infected and the airways slim. The sufferer's chest reduces, breathing becomes difficult or wheezy, and a consistent cough may develop - especially during the night. Asthma can be triggered by allergic reactions or have its starting point from a stressful amount of life such as infection, a grief, or even the birthday of a baby. Thousands die from asthma each year. That is a serious disease that is increasing in frequency. For children and adults alike, they have difficulty to breathe during an asthma attack can be a frightening experience. Whilst conventional medications relieve many of the symptoms of asthma, they can cure it. With homeopathy, it is a different story.
The key Causes of Asthma:
Regarding the etiology, bronchial asthma is broken into the following groups:
1. Sensitive (extrinsic/ atopic) Asthma - This type of bronchial asthma usually starts in child years and is often forwent by eczema. But almost all of the young adults (<35 yrs.) developing bronchial asthma also fall into this category. Genetic factors also play a tremendous role we this. Through this type of asthma, the allergen causes the production of abnormal (IgE) immunoglobulins.
2. Infective or Intrinsic Asthma - This is not genetic or allergic, but may be caused by, or at least associated with an upper respiratory area or bronchial infection which is usually viral.
3. Emotional Asthma - Internal factors (like anxiety, psychological stress etc.) are often considered to be the only cause of some asthmatic attacks, but it is still not certain whether it can be the only cause or is merely a precipitating factor.
4. Occupational asthma - This can take place in certain industries in which there exists exposure to metallic dust particles (esp. platinum salts), natural detergents, toluene diisocyanate, polyurethane material, flour and dust from grains and so on
Whatever may be the cause, it finally causes paroxysms of bronchial blockage produced by widespread bronchial spasm accentuated by inserting of the bronchi with excessive mucus.
