HI
Thank for asking to HCM
Your symptoms are very unusual, bowel movement reflexes causing asthma is not related with each other but of course you might be getting too conscious and that causing sort of agitation, hurry , stress, and this may be the cause of asthma like symptoms, which doe not need any treatment just relax while go for toilet and this will not induce such symptoms take care have nice day.

Thanks for query . As you said you are not a diagnosed case of asthma previously.these symptoms might be due cold breeze in early morning which triggers respiratory bronchioles resulting in asthma like symptoms.consult a doc he might put you on monteleukast which prevents such attacks in winter.regards
