Diagnose asthma?????
How exactly is asthma diagnosed? The doc gave me an inhaler, but my mom asked him for one in case i needed it sometimes. I never got tested specifically, at least i don't think, they ever gave me a test for asthma. So how is it diagnosed? I don't even think what i have is exercised-induced asthma either, because at baseball training we ran stairs 50 times without me getting anything, directly after doing curl ups, pushups, medicine balls, etc? When i do get breathing difficulty, it goes away in like 5 min. So do i have asthma, and how is it diagnosed?

Asthma is diagnosed through a history of shortness of breath that doesn't go away. That is an indication for your doctor to do spirometry tests. That's just breathing into a tube. You don't really sound like you have a problem with asthma. Don't know why the doc gave you an inhaler. Probably had too many of them in his office and was giving them to everyone.

Your Doctor Will Have To Give You A Breathing Test or Send You Out To A Specialist Who Gives You A Breathing Test And Then You Will Find Out.
Good Luck, And Get Better.
