American Sign Language: "asthma" I've done quite a bit of surveying on this sign. It is pretty much divided 4 ways. 1. Literally one out of four people surveyed couldn't think of a sign off the top of their heads. Then after thinking about it for a moment many of them did one of the following versions: 2. Do a version of "lungs" using curved-5 hands. 3. Do the sign for "breathe." 4. Do the sign "BREATHE" but use "A" hands. Place your hands about an inch out from your chest and then move your hands downward, repeat.
