asthma without wheezing
by pinkyroo, Oct 27, 2007 07:23PM
I have coughing issues with a tight chest on and off. I often feel it as a raw burning feeling in my chest. Its especially bad after I have a cold or on bad smog days. I get on average 3 or 4 chest colds a year and they last a good 4 weeks when I get them. I currently have the third I've had this year. I have yet to actually get to the doctor when I'm feeling breathless and tight. When I do go I mention it to him but he says I sound fine. I had a horrid coughing fit last night and a tight chest all night but by the morning I was fine. Is it possible to have asthma and not have wheezing? And is there some way to test for it?

yes, it is called cough variant asthma. My son has asthma and almost never wheezes.
