asthma

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'problem that would make you gasp?' is the definition.
'asthma' can be an answer for 'problem' (I have seen 'Respiratory problem ' mean 'asthma' so perhaps 'problem' could also mean 'asthma'). I am not certain of the rest of the definition.

'a version of maths' is the wordplay.
'version of' indicates anagramming the letters.
'maths' with letters rearranged gives 'sthma'.
'a'+'sthma'='ASTHMA'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for asthma that I've seen before include "Breathing illness" , "which leaves one breathless" , "Chronic breathing condition" , "Breathing problem" , "Respiratory disease" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
