Bronchial asthma, or simply asthma, is a chronic inflammatory lung disease that causes the narrowing of the airways, leading to breathing difficulties. To diagnose asthma, your doctor will perform a physical exam to rule out other possible conditions and will ask you questions about your signs and symptoms and about any other health problems. You may be given lung function tests to determine how much air moves in and out as you breathe. These tests may include spirometry, which estimates the narrowing of your bronchial tubes by checking how much air you can exhale after a deep breath and how fast you can breathe out.
Your doctor may also order additional tests such as allergy testing, nitric oxide test, sputum eosinophils, and others to get a complete picture of how your lungs are functioning.
