What are the signs or symptoms of asthma?
July 12th, 2010 by admin
I think that I may have it.
Can someone please tell me what the symptoms of asthma are… and how do you know you have it?
Thanks.
Common asthma symptoms include:
Coughing. Coughing from asthma is often worse at night or early in the morning, making it hard to sleep.
Wheezing. Wheezing is a whistling or squeaky sound when you breathe.
Chest tightness. This can feel like something is squeezing or sitting on your chest.
Shortness of breath. Some people say they can’t catch their breath, or they feel breathless or out of breath. You may feel like you can’t get enough air in or out of your lungs.
Faster breathing or noisy breathing.
The only way to know for sure would be to see your doctor.

Restriction of breathing, sometimes over a very simple task(walking the stairs). The only way to find out if you really have it is to go see your doctor.Good luck

My brother used to say he "lost his air," when an attack was starting. You could see the ribs on his back moving in and out, because it was so hard for him trying to breathe.
Wheezing, which is a different kind of coughing is also a sign.
The ER gives oxygen to those having attacks. If the attacks are often, you might be given a nebulizer to use at home with Proventil in it. There is also Proventil syrup if the attacks aren’t that bad.
Asthma does kill, so if anyone you know is having an attack, get straight to the ER.

From watching a friend of mine it usually is:
1.) Coughing and/or wheezing, chest pain, and shortness of breath, and bronchitis or bronchial infection
2.) Not being able to breath as easy as you could
3.) You get tired when you do a mobile activity
Hope I could help! If not, I would see a doctor.
