Thank you for writing in Chat Doctor. Is I like to confirm diagnosis of Asthma by some symptom and a simple test? Let me know your fathers' problem in details...1. Is there any symptom like -shortness of breath/cough/chest tightness/wheezing?2. Is this symptom worse at night/walking?2. Is this symptom triggered by cold air/allergen/dust/fumes/during viral infection? Asthma is a clinical diagnosis.and easily controllable. Similar type of patients when come to my clinic I first rule out serious condition like some Heart diseases(Angina/heart failure)...then less serious condition like Stable COPD/Asthma...all these are common in elderly age group. Before treatment confirmation of diagnosis by clinical examination & some test is important as the treatment is different in each case. Thanking you.Don't hesitate to write me in details.
