DO YOU HAVE ASTHMA?

Question: How Do I Know If I Have Asthma?
Answer:

While the typical person is diagnosed with asthma in early childhood, you can develop asthma at any age. Anyone with one or a combination of the following symptoms could have asthma:

    Cough - often with symptoms worsening at night
    Wheezing
    Chest tightness
    Decreased ability to perform normal activities
    Frequent nighttime awakenings or symptoms

If you have any of these symptoms, you may want to discuss asthma with your healthcare provider. Asthma can sometimes be difficult to diagnose as the symptoms mentioned above can occur in diseases other than asthma.

MY THOUGHTS

So, do you think you should make a trip to your doctor's office?
