A member asked:
Is it ever possible to pull, sprain or train a neck muscle after a particularly severe and sudden asthma attack?

Yes.: Increased work of breathing during an attack can strain muscles involved in respiration.

Yes: With severe asthma attacks, the work of breathing is significantly increased and you are forced to use the accessory muscles which include those in your neck.
