Asthma diagnosis protocol?

0 replies

I have asthma after being diagnosed at 19. It came on through living with two heavy smokers. It's relatively under control now, I am mid 40's, but I don't know enough or take it seriously enough. Won't bore you with why.

My question is about my 14 year old daughter. She has told me she's been getting shortness of breath and thinks she has asthma. What do I do! Do I take her to the asthma nurse or a doctor? How will they diagnose her if she's breathing fine? Any pointers greatly appreciated. She has other health issues which I'm fine with dealing with but this has come from left field for me.
