Best Answer

Hyperventilation is rapid breathing which is caused by muscle contractions, particularly the diaphragm which is triggered by the phrenic nerve. Asthma, on the other hand, is associated with spasmodic smooth muscle contraction of the bronchiole tubes in the lungs. In hyperventilation you can breathe quickly in and out. In asthma you have a hard time breathing out, exhaling.
