history: Hello! I heard you knew a lot about asthma. I have asthma and I'd like to know more about it. I see. Asthma is when the lung's airways are inflamed. It is a long-term disease. Yeah it's not great. What else can you tell me? Do you have symptoms like reversible airflow obstruction, and bronchospasm. Yes. It's really bad if I exercise too hard or am around cats and dust. Symptoms for it could be things like wheezing or coughing, having chest tightness or shortness of breath. That's right! That's when I have to use my medicine. What do you know about medication for asthma? I cannot say for medication, but diagnosis is on patterns, therapy response over time, and use of spirometry. Yeah. I had to have a bunch of tests done.
