Today, my grandmother forced me to help her clean a house, which she knows makes me sick. I wonder why she is so surprised that I am now at the emergency room recovering from an asthma attack. FML

People only have the power you give them unless they use actual physical violence. it's Your health, Refuse to die.

Social power can be just as damaging as physical violence. Grandparents usually have a large amount of sway in a family, and it isn't exactly uncommon for family members to threaten to make you miserable unless you do X for them. Saying that emotional/mental manipulation and abuse aren't forms of a power imbalance is incorrect and spreads the misinformation that 'only' physical abuse is "true" abuse.

That sucks, OP. Sometimes grandparents just don't understand. If this keeps up, I would invest in a mask. Possibly one with a little air filter in it.
