Do I really have asthma

2025-06-20 05:42:01
Why my asthma shows irreversible? Do I actually have asthma or not? Hello everyone, I was diagnosed with asthma, but my Pulmonary Function Test (PFT) shows irreversible airway obstruction. I thought asthma is usually reversible after bronchodilator (like salbutamol) use. Now I’m confused — if it’s not reversible, do I really have asthma? Or is it something else like COPD or bronchiectasis? I’m in my early 30s, and I never smoked. Can asthma ever become irreversible? What else could cause this?
