ASTHMA DIAGNOSIS

There’s no single test or exam that will determine if you or your child has asthma. Instead, your doctor will use a variety of criteria to determine if the symptoms are the result of asthma.

The following can help diagnose asthma:

HEALTH HISTORY - If you have family members with the breathing disorder, your risk is higher. Alert your doctor to this genetic connection.

PHYSICAL EXAM - Your doctor will listen to your breathing with a stethoscope. You may also be given a skin test to look for signs of an allergic reaction, such as hives or eczema. Allergies increase your risk for asthma.

BREATHING TESTS - Pulmonary function tests (PFTs) measure airflow into and out of your lungs. For the most common test, spirometry, you blow into a device that measures the speed of the air.
