Asthma diagnosis

• A proper asthma diagnosis can be done by your family doctor, or he refers you to a specialist like a pneumologist, a chest physician or an allergist/immunologist.
• The diagnosis comprises of questions about your symptoms, way of living and your family history, followed by a check of your lungs, which is called spirometry.
• The diagnosis is completely painless.
