SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF ASTHMA

Although asthma symptoms may vary from time to time and from person to person, here are the main signs you need to look out for:

  • - Coughing
  • - Wheezing (a whistling sound when breathing out)
  • - Tightening of chest
  • - Shortness of breath

Some people may have all of these symptoms. Others may experience just coughing or wheezing, or a combination of some of the symptoms.
