I'm asthmatic- I notice that asthmatics seem to have weaker lungs!. If you think about it we have asthma attacks but people with stronger lungs don't!. So the answer to your question is YES! Because of weak respirtory systems!. See your doctor about your infections!. Ask him/her how to prevent this!. Feel Better!Www@Answer-Health@Com
I'm asthmatic - however, I really look after myself!. Because I know a simple cold can lead to a chest infection, I always try to nip it in the bud and kill the bug before it takes hold!. So (on average), I only get sick every other year or so!. And this year was the year!. In bed for three days, and am still trying to shake off the last remnants four weeks later!.
But no!.!.!. I'm not normally a person that catches everything that's going around!. Maybe you should check with your doctor!. Sounds more like your immune system is compromised!. Maybe you need to take better care of yourself -- take some vitamins -- get out in the fresh air -- avoid the allergens that trigger your asthma!.
Hope things improve for you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

People with asthma tend to be more sensative to environmental pollutants!. That makes them more likely to get infections!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
