No asthma will not cause weight gain. But if you are obese, the chances of asthma increase.

Hi Asthma per se does not cause weight gain. But obesity can be associated with asthma or poor asthma control. Asthma can cause weight gain in those who are on prolonged medium to high dose oral corticosteroid for asthma control. For further queries please consult online. Thank you. Hope this was helpful.
