Is it possible to have asthma and pass the methacoline test?
During my methacoline test my level dropped 12.8% I passed. My pulmonologist still says I have asthma. I also have copd and suffered with long Covid. Is it possible to have asthma and pass the methacoline test?

Are you able to ask your doctor what factors lead them to stand by the diagnosis of asthma? Are you concerned that you are being treated for asthma unnecessarily?
I’ve had an asthma attack where I felt pressure in my chest with an audible expiatory wheeze. I just never had any asthma symptoms before Covid. It happens more when I exert myself too far. I was an active person before this. Just looking for more than “you have asthma” answers
