A condition involving constriction of the airways and difficulty or discomfort in breathing. |

How do you Diagnose? |
The doctor will examine your nose, throat and upper airways. Use a stethoscope to listen to your breathing, Wheezing- high pitched whistling sounds when you breathe out- is one of the main signs of asthma. |
The most common method for diagnosing COPD is spirometry. This test is painless, it measures lung function and capacity. To perform this test, you will exhale as forcefully as possible into a tube connected to the spirometer, a small machine. |
The doctor will perform a blood test to determine if there is anything wrong with your blood that might indicate heart failure, an ECG, this records the electrical activity of your heart to check for problems, an echocardiogram- a type of ultrasound scan where sound waves are used to examine your heart. |
