No, non-allergic (intrinsic) Asthma is a fancy name for a "panic attack" besides that the other causes of non-allergic asthma are commonly various infections, in any case non-allergic is not a chronic condition.
Chronic Asthma or "Allergic" Asthma an auto immune disease in which the immune system triggers a violent response which causes the airways to pretty much close up, which is the actual Asthma you hear about when people say "I got Asthma".
While the symptoms of both Asthmas are quiet similar, the treatment is very different. Yes if you go to the hospital due to a very bad panic attack or have a bad respiratory infection they might put you on a vapaorator which is also used to treat actual severe Asthma attacks but besides that there's nothing much in common in form of treatment, nor should there be because the causes of that Asthma are either psychological or environmental which are quite easy to fix.
There's another cause of asthma, apart from allergic and intrinsic, I know, because a lot of my early asthma attacks were caused by it.
I had acid reflux, which was tracked down as one of the causes - once I started taking a drug (Prepulsid/Cisapride) to strengthen the muscles by the stomach, a lot of my attacks subsided.
I still suffer from allergies, and get the occasional attack, so it wasn't the only cause.
Professor Casimir in Belgium is probably the reason I'm still alive - and has done a lot of amazing research into Asthma and Allergies. Need to look him up and see if he's still practising actually.
