Whats a sure sign of asthma?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
None: Ther is no "sure sign" of asthma: cough, wheezing, shortness of breath, fatigue with exercise, etc can all be caused by other things. Improvement of symptoms with albuterol helps, but doesn't exclude some other diseases. Get seen, talk to your physician.
