There is allergic and non-allergic Asthma. An allergy is when your body mistakes a substance that is harmless for harmful and then reacts to and tries to expel it. Asthma is when your airways become inflamed and it makes your bronchial tubes sensitive. The sensitized bronchial tubes can spasm to: more allergen exposure, infections, irritants such as cigarette smoke, perfumes, bleach, ammonia, etc. Having an untreated or unrecognized allergic reaction in your lungs can inflame the breathing tubes and cause asthma.

∙ 13y agoAbsolutely! In fact, most asthma sufferers have Allergies of some kind. Call it a "double blessing".
Hayfever is really "allergic rhinitis" meaning you have sinus/nasal symptoms when you inhale something you are allergic to. Usually pollen, dust, animals, mold, etc. It's called Hayfever because some people have a reaction only seasonally. For example, some suffer hayfever symptoms in spring when certain irritants are prevalent and others in the fall. (I personally am a fall sufferer.)
What's also important to understand is that hayfever can increase asthmatic symptoms as well. The first level of symptoms; itchy nose, eyes, watering eyes, runny nose, swelling of nasal passages, congestion; can create issues as can secondary symptoms of post nasal drip, coughing, congestion, lack of energy.
