Specializes in Pediatric Allergy and Asthma

See an allergist: Allergists are uniquely trained to evaluate whether you have asthma, what specifically triggers your asthma attacks, comprehensively treat the asthmatic inflammation in your lungs, and write an action plan you can follow to minimize your exposure to your triggers.

Doctor: I would start by just seeing your doctor who can take your history and perhaps do a spirometry test. If the diagnosis is not clear they can refer you to a specialist for further evaluation.
