Could i develop asthma later in life since my mom did?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: Though most asthma begins in childhood, many adults develop asthma later in life. The causes are varied and are sometimes related to your job, pollution and other causes. Get checked by your physician and give a good history (include your mother's history as well). Good luck.
