I'm a self-teaching geek. teaching because that process is far from over. I don't know a ton, but what I know, I'll share, and I won't answer a question if I'm not confident I'm correct.

comment What are some ways of coping with asthma while biking?
This is a medical question not a cycling question, which also requires a localized answer. I would suggest speaking to your doctor. The difference could be anything from a rise in pollen counts in your area, to any of a dozen lung ailments. We are not qualified to answer. I feel this is not the right forum to ask this type of question.

comment What factors determine stem length ?
So at 159.8 cm tall you are 5 foot 2.9 inches tall. If as you commented below you have long legs for your height, then I would look for a 48 or 49cm frame, with a 65 mm stem. However, given your body proportions, which appear to be unusual, you need to find a trustworthy and skilled bike fitter. Anything we say here is only a best guess.
