Asthma itself is may not be hereditary, but there does seem to be a hereditary component to the tendency to develop asthma. Statistics says that if neither parent has asthma, the chances of each of their children having asthma are less than 10%. When one parent has asthma, the chances rise to 25%, and when both parents have asthma, the chances climb to 50%. Similarly, if one or both parents have allergies, the chances of each of their children having allergies are 35% and 65%, respectively, compared to a less than 10% chance if neither parent has allergies.

I think so… At least, I heard about such cases. But I think you should better talk to your doc first and see if you have any chances to have it… I would like to recommend that you think about taking some good and safe asthma treatment medicine, for example. I am sure that you will find it interesting and helpful to you, good luck!
