A member asked:
What happens if you have a inhaler, does that mean you have asthma?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not Necesarily: Inhalers are given to patients for many reasons. Asthma is an inflammatory lung disorder diagnosed using a test called a spirometry. Having an inhaler does not automatically make you an asthmatic but you should see your doctor to figure it out.
