Having burning sensation in my chest. used proair that i got last time for bronchitis and it helps. have i developed asthma at 45 years of age?

PFTs may be ordered: Pro air relaxes the airway and relieves symptoms of asthma including shortness of breath, wheezing and chest tightness. Adults can develop asthma, but the burning sensation may be related to another condition. It is best to check with your doctor to evaluate. Pulmonary function testing or pfts may help to determine the cause.
