Going to an asthma doctor. what can i expect?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lots of questions: An asthma specialist will ask many questions about triggers of asthma, frequency of symptoms during day, night and with exercise. They will want to know what medications have been tried, and check inhaler technique. A thorough physical exam will be done. Spirometry breathing test is standard (before and after albuterol), maybe chest x-ray, probably allergy tests, and develop a plan just for you.
