A member asked:
I'm 24 years old, could you develop asthma out of nowhere?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Though it is most likely to start in childhood, asthma can occur at any age. Things that alter your immune system like pregnancy, severe illness, or stress can cause asthma to develop even if you've never had it before. Also, if you have had allergies your whole life these can eventually lead to asthma as well.
