Asthma is a condition where breathing becomes difficult do to spasmodic contraction of the bronchial tubes.
The most popular forms of treatment are pills & puffers but these address the symptoms of asthma only.
They do not address the cause ( why is the asthma there in the first place? ) & with prolonged use, can cause further problems with the lungs & bronchi.
This is what you need to know to help treat the condition, not just cover it up with meds.
Get tested for allergies & remove any positive ones from your environment.
Cats , dogs , dust , feathers etc. can trigger asthma attacks.
Sulphites & salicylates are preservatives found in food & medications.
These can trigger asthma attacks.

Never jump into cold swimming pools or lakes. The temperature shock can trigger an attack.
