A member asked:
I have frequent wheezing and bronchitis, but pulmonary function testing is always normal. does that sound like asthma despite normal testing?:

Maybe, maybe not.: Could be allergies, or due to pulmonary irritants. Avoid aerosols, fragrances of all types:room deodorizers, candles, cooking oil or heating fumes, scented laundry detergents or skin care products, fabric softeners, second hand smoke. All these can cause irritation of the respiratory tract and cause wheezing and bronchitis. What kind of PFT did you have? Further work-up is in order, get one..

Not all wheezes are: due to asthma. Do you wheeze when you breathe in or when you breathe out? If only when breathing in then one need to look for an obstruction at the upper airways and not asthma (wheezing when breathing out). Consult an ENT to rule out vocal cord dysfunction.
