Symptoms and signs include dyspnea, chest tightness, cough, and wheezing. The diagnosis is based on history, physical examination, and pulmonary function tests. Treatment involves controlling triggering factors and drug therapy, most commonly with inhaled beta-2 agonists and inhaled corticosteroids. Prognosis is good with treatment. #asthma #bronchoconstriction #dyspnea Professor Armen Astvatsatryan, MD, PhD, ScD, FESC.
