ARGIRL -
If you become short of breath, pat your chest, say or mouth "asthma," and roll your eyes as if to say "can you believe this stupid asthma, why is this happening now?" Then be cheerful, and soldier on as best you can.
People are not sophisticated about various lung diseases, but EVERYONE has a friend or family member with asthma, and even the most clueless folks knows it makes you short of breath. Most also understand that stress or running around make it worse, so they should understand without being told why rush might bring on problems.
Will work as a nice shorthand.
