Stop posting and read AR 40-501, then see the Doc at your MEPS station. DO NOT LIE, regardless of what the recruiter tells you.

Search for "asthma." Everyone who has it tries to make it into something else.

If you have it and keep it a secret, and somehow make it though the Q Course, when you get to a camp at 15,000 feet and have another attack while living in a dirt hut 500 miles from the nearest physician, do not expect me to save you, or to risk an aircrew to come in and haul you off.

If you cannot follow the instructions, or think that lying is a viable option, then I highly recommend that you leave this site and go back to ArmyRanger.com for the rest of your career.
