Mgt : An inbox consult may be booked to review your pulmonary function testing. Did you improve with Albuterol?

Many factors: I usually do not give a diagnosis of borderline asthma-either you have it or you don't. Although you stated that you had no symptoms, I do note the presence of fatigue which may be from uncontrolled asthma. Depending on many factors, it is hard to tell whether it will progress or not. Consider seeing an allergist to clear this issue up for you.

Relax: In Asthma, the symptoms/degree range from very mild to average to very major.Some use the "mild" label for people with cough variant asthma, where you rarely if ever wheeze but can have a persistent cough as symptoms. If you are an adult who never had symptomatic wheezing I would your pattern to remain stable.Your doc might prescribe some asthma rx for cough symptoms
