Symptoms of Asthma 

Generally, the asthma symptoms are very obvious and resemble the signs and symptoms of other respiratory diseases.¹ Some of the common symptoms are as follows: 

• You might experience a cough, especially at night 
• You might experience a shortness of breath 
• You might experience wheezing (a musical or whistle-like sound while breathing) 
• You might experience pressure, tightness or pain in the chest.¹ 

Knowing the warning signs and the triggers of an asthma attack can help you avoid or control your asthma. When you follow your doctor’s advice and take medicines exactly as they tell you to, you might be able to have control over your asthma; you can then notice: 

• Better sleep  
• Possible reduction of symptoms such as wheezing and coughing. 
• You can take part in physical activities.²
