Is The Emergency Related To Asthma Or Dysphonia?

Hi, I have been diagnosed with Dysphonia and mild asthma. I have been diagnosed moderate to severe asthmastic for 50 years. 2 emergency situations have used adrenaline, the relief was immediate. Do you think this would be asthma or dysphonia related?
