Patients with asthma exhale much more nitric oxide in their breath and most of it is produced in the bronchial system although inflammation anywhere in the body can raise the production of nitric oxide. Carbon dioxide will antagonize that energy of nitric oxide and lower the inflammation so simply providing carbon dioxide works against some of the basic mechanisms involved in asthma.
