Asthama rule out
Hi,
I want to rule out whether i have asthama or not. I have done Spirometry test and FVC and FeV1 both are above 100. Doctors says i dont have wheezing sound. I got chest xray and CT scan of chest and they were normal. But still i feel sometimes my breath is getting bit faster or mild breathlessness i feel. How to rule out asthma? Is there any other test to rule out asthma? I do mild exercise like 15 min of brisk walking, 100 reps of skipping without skipping, 2-3 min of jogging. But sometimes i feel mild breathlessness. Please suggest whether i have asthma or not and how to completely rule out asthma? Please help
Thanks

No one test can specifically rule in or rule out asthma. It's the combination of few investigation and detailed history. Maybe you should try to look for GERD and take medication for reflux diseases. They can mimic with breathlessness as well. Also rule out anxiety issue.
