I was diagnosed with asthma when I was about 2-3. it subsided, I went to the doctors with symptoms recently, I got given an inhaler and told to do my peak flow test. I did it, the doctor told me that asthma isn't "screaming" at her. she then referred me to a spirometry person and put me on salbultomal and Beclometadone on repeat. is it okay to say I have asthma even though I'm not diagnosed? I feel like I'm invalidating people's feelings but at the same time I struggle with it.
It's important to follow your doctor's advice and continue with the prescribed medications and tests. It's possible that you may have asthma or another respiratory condition, but only a medical professional can provide an accurate diagnosis. It's okay to discuss your symptoms and concerns with others, but make sure to clarify that you are still undergoing testing and not yet officially diagnosed.
