Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Asthama is not a contagious disease. It is experienced by the subject due to bronchospasm, which may be precipitated by allergy or infections.
If you have respiratory infections along with asthamatic attacks, infection could spread to others nearby. Hence you need to take care regarding this aspect.
Kindly take proper medications and precautions as advised.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best and wish you good health.
