Will people with asthma who get Swine Flu get it worse than others?
I've gotten the flu every year since I was very young. I also have asthma and I was wondering 1) Is Swine Flu worse for people with asthma and 2) Are you more likely to develop a case of h1n1 if you have asthma?

Answer by Fankie
No, its just a bigger possibility of you catching it. Than people without asthma.

Answer by chILD Mom
If you get it, you do have a higher risk of complications from it than a person without asthma does. I am not sure you are really any more likely to get it than another person though, unless your immune system is very run down.
