How do you know if you have asthma?

GEHA | August 20, 2018

Asthma symptoms Asthma and allergies

Read about the most common asthma symptoms.

Not everyone exhibits the same asthma symptoms. One individual may even have different symptoms from one attack to the next.

The most common symptoms are:

Coughing, especially at night
Wheezing and shortness of breath
Tightness, pain or pressure in the chest
Feeling very tired or weak during exercise
Trouble sleeping

If you think you may have asthma, speak with your primary care provider. Your care provider will review your personal and family medical history, your symptoms, and perform a physical examination, including a breathing test, to make a diagnosis. Your provider may also order additional tests including allergy and blood tests.
