A sore throat does not always acrue when your having asthma, although it may be an early warning sign of an oncoming asthma attack that is unique to you.
Viral respiratory infections are one of the leading "trigger" of asthma.
Gaining weight is not an asthma trigger, yet it can cause you to feel winded. There have been many studies linking being "over weight" with worsening asthma.
One of the BEST ways of gaining control of your asthma is to exercise. No matter how bad your asthma is, you need to participate in some level of exercise.
I GUARANTEE if once you exercise a few weeks you'll see your asthma getting better, plus you'll feel better to boot.
