Can you skydive if you have asthma?

I am just wondering if people with asthma have done skydives. I have done an indoor skydive and I was fine and I loved it. This made me want to do a real skydive, but was just wondering if people have been able to skydive with asthma. My asthma gets triggered most when I go from a hot place to a cold place or vise versa. My asthma sometimes gets triggered by panic attacks. As well I have been hospitalised twice due to my asthma but it is more controlled now.

Thank you.
