Based on your responses today you may well have asthma or another respiratory condition.
Make an appointment with your GP so that he or she can give you a proper diagnosis.
There's no simple test for asthma. It's diagnosed by your doctor after examination, and taking into account how and when symptoms occur.
Tests and investigations that measure the volume and speed of air that you breathe in and out can be useful to confirm whether you have asthma. You may also be given a medicine used to open up the airways (a bronchodilator), to see if this improves how well your lungs work.
If your symptoms worsen, or you are having difficulties breathing, go to an accident and emergency (A&E) department as you may be having an asthma attack and need urgent attention.
