Ask for full pulmonary function tests, that is the way I started and it got worse and worse.  

However, all my values were normal except lung volume that showed air trapping, so I technically don't have asthma, it is only reactive airways because I am not bad enough to be considered asthmatic.  

Methacholine challenge tests test how irritable your airways are and can be used if normal function tests are normal.
