Cts: Carpal tunnel is a veeeery common problem. Usually its caused by repetitve wrist use or nighttime positioning during sleep with wrists flexed. Often higher risk in people with diabetes, autoimmune disease such as lupis or rheumatoid arthritis. In general though. No particular relatedness of cts with others.

Not likely: Asthma is common and seen more commonly in persons with allergic rhinitis (hay fever), and eczema. The other conditions listed are not found in higher frequency in persons with asthma.
