Is asthma a respiratory disease?

Question

I've been told I have a respiratory issue, and the doctor thinks it's asthma. Does that mean asthma is a respiratory disease, or is it a different category?

Yes, it is a respiratory disease because it affects your breathing airways. It gets a bit annoying during change of weather, but that doesn't stop me from enjoying my hot cutting chai and samosas!

Yes, it is a respiratory disease that affects the lungs. For mild irritation, steam inhalation and warm herbal tea help me a lot, but if you have actual breathing issues, you must consult a doctor.
