Some doctors will ask you the following questions in the course of the diagnosis of asthma:

- Do you experience very serious tightening of your chest and inward pulling of your ribs when you breathe?

- Do your nostrils flare when you breathe?

- Do you occasionally find it difficult to breathe and then find yourself gasping for breath?

- Do you experience wheezing and coughing, mostly at nights?

- Do your fingers or lips turn blue when these symptoms occur?

- Most especially... do you find it critically difficult when breathing, or even when talking and walking?

If your answers to the above are YES, your doctor might follow them up with the following questions:

- When do these normally happen, at nights, in the mornings or in the afternoons?

- What is your working condition like?

- Are you exposed to dangerous chemicals, irritants, or pollutants in your place of work?

- Do these happen when exercising?

- Do these happen at certain times of the year like winter or summer?

These and similar questions are to help the doctor determine the type of asthma you have and the factors that trigger it.

Also, in his diagnosis of asthma he will give you the best treatments available to effectively treat and manage your asthmatic condition. The effects of asthma can be devastating if not treated and controlled. With proper care and medication, people can live a long live with minimal problems caused by their asthma.

Asthma and Respiratory Definitions & Terms:

  • Flunisolide -- Inhaled (MDI) anti-inflammatory corticosteroid. It is similar to beclomethasone in that it helps prevent inflammation in the airways. It delivers a higher concentration of drug with each puff than beclomethasone, so it is often prescribed for more severe cases of asthma. Commonly sold under the AeroBid name.


  • Pus -- A thick, opaque, and usually yellow-white fluid containing white blood cells, tissue debris, and microorganisms.


  • Rhinitis -- This is a clinical term for the following symptoms: nasal blockage (congestion), nasal discharge (runny nose), nasal itching and sneezing. The cause is typically infection (viral, mostly), allergy, structural, or the all-important 'other'. For more on rhinitis, read this fact sheet. Rhinitis often triggers flares in susceptible asthmatics, like my son for one. Ed has vasomotor rhinitis, which means he gets a runny nose for no explicable reason. :/
