How to diagnosis asthma?

I was panicking so much last winter thinking I had severe asthma because of my chest tightness. Honestly, it turned out to be just dust allergy and basic acidity issues. Go to a clinic, get a simple breathing test done, and don't stress yourself out needlessly before the results.

Actually, my roommate had this issue last month, yaar. He thought it was just a normal cough but the doc made him do this blow-into-a-tube test called spirometry. Better to visit a specialist in the city instead of trying to figure it out yourself at home.

Usually, a doctor will check your medical history first and then do a test called spirometry to see how much air you can breathe out. They might also check how you respond to a quick inhaler. It's a very standard, painless procedure, so please visit a local clinic for a proper checkup.

At our age, climbing two flights of stairs makes us suspect we have asthma! But seriously, don't guess. Go to a proper doctor and get the breathing test done, otherwise you'll keep wasting money on useless over-the-counter cough syrups like I did.
