A member asked:

Asthma testing what are they going to do to me during this test?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Clinical Dx: The diagnosis of asthma is very challenging. There is no set test or tests that make this diagnosis. In general, the history, physical exam and supporting labs/testing/spirometry/cxr/allergy tests are all potentially utlized to make the clinical DX of asthma.
