Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Other diseases which behave like asthma are allergic bronchitis, BOOK (Bronchiolitis Obliterate Organizing Pneumonia) etc. Pulmonary embolism can also behave like asthma, but this is less common. So better to get done chest x-ray and CT thorax to rule out these diseases. Consult your pulmonologist and discuss these asthma like conditions. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
