Well, it’s wheezing in the lungs and my doctor listened for it by having me breathe and using his stethoscope on my chest. To see if he heard wheezing. People who have asthma attacks often end up in the hospital not being able to breathe. You probably don’t have it very badly if you do have it.

doctors test it with breathing tests. i have asthma.

wheezing. feels like breathing in through a closed straw sometimes.

Yes they can take an x-ray of your lungs, and run blood tests. Please don’t hesitate yo get this checked out. An asthma attack can wipe you out.

I’m pretty sure it runs in the family, and you would know if you’ve had any symptoms. Wheezing, hard time breathing when exerted, etc. Just go to your doctor and tell them what you’ve been experiencing. If anyone else in your family has had it, chances are good that you could have it. They may just give you an inhaler to use whenever you breathing feels constricted.

Check out the Buteyko technique - it helped me a lot. You can find info on the web.
