A member asked:
If i have a wheezing sound when i breathe and chest tightness, do i have asthma? is this curable?

Possibly: You should see an allergist or pulmonologist who can check breathing tests (spirometry). If your exam and testing is consistent with asthma it is very treatable. Currently there is no "cure" for asthma although for some people it is very limited or triggered by only specific triggers.
