Asthma is a complex condition. There are many different risk factors such as allergic history. How was she diagnosed and has she had a pulmonary function test with a bronchodilator? Usually symptoms are controlled with inhalers and improve during young adulthood. A virtual consult with Healthtap is available.

Questions are unanswerable with the information provided. Evaluation by a specialist, allergist or pediatric pulmonologist is indicated. The cause requires that evaluation. Anxiety may cause symptoms that are misdiagnosed as asthma. See an asthma specialist.
