Asthma facts
Asthma can develop at any age but usually begins during the first few years of life.
There are three levels of asthma: mild, moderate and severe, but anyone can experience a severe attack.
Treatment can vary from person to person

When to seek emergency medical treatment
Seek medical attention right away if you have signs or symptoms of a serious asthma attack, which include:
Severe breathlessness or wheezing, especially at night or in the early morning
The inability to speak more than short phrases due to shortness of breath
Having to strain your chest muscles to breathe

Physical exam
Your doctor may:
Examine your nose, throat and upper airways (upper respiratory tract).
Use a stethoscope to listen to your breathing. Wheezing — high-pitched whistling sounds when
you breathe out — is one of the main signs of asthma.
Examine your skin for signs of allergic conditions such as eczema and hives.

Test for asthma(+pic.)
Lung Function Tests
Spirometer is a simple breathing test that measures how much and how fast you can blow air out of your
lungs. It is often used to determine the amount of airway obstruction you have.

Peak flow meters are used to measure the peak expiratory flow rate, important in both monitoring and diagnosing asthma.

Chest X-Ray
Your doctor may perform an X-ray exam on you in order to see the structures inside your chest, including the heart, lungs, and bones. By viewing your lungs, your doctor can see if asthma is likely to be causing your symptoms
