A member asked:

I had a pulmonary function test. i was curious and wondering can someone be accidentally diagnosed with asthma?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hard to say: A lot of what is labeled as asthma may not turn out to be over the long run. Most true asthmatics have some related diagnosis in early childhood, males before one and females by three.Yet I have seen a 16 yo female with her first event.Many teens have transient exercised triggered wheezing, which is less worrisome and often fades with age. You can always under-perform on function tests.
