What are the common symptoms of asthma?

Asthma symptoms include wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and coughing, especially at night, early in the morning, or with exercise, colds, or allergen exposure.

How is asthma diagnosed?

Diagnosis combines your history and exam with pulmonary function testing (spirometry), which measures how well air moves in and out of your lungs. Allergy testing may also help identify triggers.

What triggers asthma attacks?

Common triggers include pollen, dust mites, pet dander, mold, smoke, strong odors, cold air, exercise, and respiratory infections. Identifying your personal triggers is a key part of treatment.

Is all wheezing asthma?

Not always. Wheezing can also be caused by viral infections, vocal cord dysfunction, or other conditions. A careful evaluation helps confirm the correct diagnosis.

What treatments are available for asthma?

Treatment may include controller and rescue inhalers, a written asthma action plan, trigger reduction, allergy shots for allergic asthma, and biologic medications for severe asthma.

Can children with asthma play sports?

Yes. With proper diagnosis and a good treatment plan, most children with asthma can participate fully in sports and physical activities.

What are the signs of an asthma emergency?

Seek emergency care right away if you have severe shortness of breath, trouble speaking, bluish lips, or if your rescue inhaler is not helping.
