Hi. I have been having shortness of breath occasionally for the past few months even when at rest. And every time when I exercise, I feel tingling sensation at the back of my head when I am out of breath. I was diagnosed with asthmatic bronchitis 2 years ago but no wheezing. Is this consider asthma but I do not have wheezing at all.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. There is dictum in pulmonology. \"All wheezes are not asthma and not all asthmatic s will have wheel\". So it is quite possible to have asthma without wheel. I advise you to consult pulmonologist and get done PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). PFT is must diagnose breathing problem as asthma. It will also tell you about severity of asthma. And according to the severity, treatment should be guided. You may require inhaled bronchodilators and antihistamine. So better to consult pulmonologist and discuss all these.
