Is it possible to have asthma and no wheezing?
12 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Asthma is typically characterized by coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath but all of these symptoms do not need to be present to have a diagnosis of asthma. Pulmonary function testing can help to ensure an accurate diagnosis and any worrisome symptoms should be discussed with your doctor.
