Best Answer

No. Not all types of Asthma are formed at birth. There are a number of types that devolpe and flair up for a number of reasons. Exercise induced asthma is one that you don't always have at birth. If your lungs don't develop the right way in a growth spurt, you can have some breathing problems until they even out. For lack of a better term.
