5.Early Warning Signs
Sometimes, asthma will cause less dramatic symptoms. You may cough a lot (especially at night), have a hard time sleeping, feel drained for no reason, or seem out of breath. These won’t stop your day, but they can be warning signs that a full-on asthma attack is coming.
6.Diagnosis
A lung test called spirometry measures how much air you can breathe in and out. The results will help your doctor decide whether you have asthma and how severe it is. They may also suggest allergy testing to pinpoint some of your triggers.
