Get tested: The only way to diagnosis asthma is by a good history and a simple test called spirometry. This is non-invasive and takes only a few minutes. Your history of attack frequency, severity, family history, etc will also guide the physician in your treatment. Don;t wait- get tested now. Good luck.
