Answer 1

Asthma is not catching, although it is carried in the genes.  You could have inherited grandma&#039;s asthma problem.  If you are seeing  doctor regarding this, he will be watching you and alerting you on what sets your asthma off.  There are medications out there that help the asthma sufferers of today.  Good luck with it.  

Answer 2

No, you did not catch it from her.

All the best.

Answer 3

No, asthma is not contagious, but it can be genetic. So, if your grandmother had asthma, yes, it is possible that your genetics played a part in it. But it&#039;s not contagious, like the flu or a cold.
