Thank you for writing in HCM.
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 this 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 cases.

Thanking you.

Don't hesitate to write me in details .
