Struggling with Asthma Diagnosis

They say now that Asthma "goes away" did they give you a peak flow to keep? I'd be tempted to make a peak flow diary and go back. What annoys me about GP's is they give salbultamol medicine out even if they don't believe you have asthma 🤔

I have seasonal asthma and it’s diagnosed because my dr has heard me wheezing with it when he was listening to my lungs. I’m on oral meds that also treat allergies and haven’t needed to use an actual emergency or daily inhaler for years. IDK, but if you’re wheezing, you have difficulty breathing and can’t pass a breathing test, most drs would count it as asthma, if not conventional then maybe seasonal?

I was born with chronic asthma and was the kid in the bubble. It wouldn't bother me if you said you have asthma because there are different levels of severity. If I were you I would say I have asthma.

Well, even if it subsided, I don't think it's something that goes away, so as far as I know, that initial diagnosis is permanent, as long as it was accurate - I'd suggest getting at least 1 other doc's opinion, preferably a Pulmonologist, if you're Primary doc will refer u, or if u can get to one directly.

It's so thoughtful of you to have this mindset. I don't have (let's call it) conventional asthma, it's part of my disease but I often just say I have asthma symptoms to avoid having to explain it all.
