Am I getting asthma?


For the last 48 hours, I've been having a little trouble breathing. Especially when I swallow or cough. In the past 24 hours, I developed a small cough. My mum and one of my brothers have asthma, so I'm not to sure. I'm going to make an appointment for Wednesday or Thursday to see a doctor. Anyone have any opinions or ideas? Is this asthma forming?

without seeing or being a Doctor we can't honestly tell, but when I was first diagnosed as asthmatic, I was having short gasping breaths and couldn't take in full deep breaths. I was surprised to be told I had it at 20, no one else in my family had it. I was told being sickly as a young child and having had many bouts with pneumonia led to mine. Yes you can inherit asthma, but only a lung function test and seeing a qualified Doctor can diagnose it for sure. Asthma does cause you to have a cough which in turn seems to make the chest feel tighter.

I hope you don't have it. You could just be having a cold or allergy. I wouldn't wish asthma on anyone it is a life sentence.

i agree with everything seek* said.

given the time of year, this could be allergies. but if it is asthma, the sooner you start treating it, the better you will feel.
