Can you tell me are protin shakes are harmful for asthmatic patients?

No: You need to eat a balanced diet. Too much of protein in the diet is not good either.

Not necesarily: If the asthmatic had a food allergy to some component of the protein shake, it might trigger an event. However, in general, this is just another food source and should be well tolerated.
