of disbelief when people are first diagnosed with asthma. Much of this stems
from misconceptions such as who can get it, who can't and how it should
affect you. Asthma can certainly seem quite confusing; this is partly because of its very nature which can vary so much from one person to the next. In addition, the symptoms can be very similar to those of other complaints. There are still some people who think asthma is 'all in the mind'. There is currently no specific universal test which can be carried out on everyone to diagnose asthma. In addition, asthma is often divided into a number of different types; so, what are these different types and do they have anything in common? This topic has been broken down into the three main areas below. Each one looks at some facts to help you understand the nature of asthma and how the doctor makes the diagnosis.  What
