Diagnosis of Asthma

Diagnosis of asthma is mostly clinical. Some investigations to assess the extent of asthma and association of other conditions is usually called for in most cases. A detailed medical history and physical examination are done to assess the presence or severity of the following symptoms.

  • Recurrent respiratory infections
  • An allergic cough worse at night
  • Sudden onset of wheezing and shortness of breath when exposed to allergens
  • Your family history of asthma and allergies
  • Medicines you may have used to help your breathing

A physical examination of your respiratory system and a general examination is done to rule out other illness.

After medical history and examination, pulmonary function test and other investigations may be included to complete the diagnosis

Clinical Tests include:

Pulmonary function test:

  • Spirometry
  • Challenge test
  • Exhaled Nitric oxide test
  • Complete Blood count
  • Chest and Sinus X-rays
  • CT scan (not done routinely)
  • GERD assessment test (if associated gastric symptoms)
