2. Do you wake up at night coughing, or do you cough a lot when you first wake up?
3. Do you feel tight chested, have a wheeze or cough during and after exercise?
4. Do you get "wheezy bronchitis" following a cold or flu?
5. Do you get breathless after taking certain medications such as apirin or some arthritis medications?
6. Do you have eczema or allergic rhinitis?
7. Is there a family history of asthma, eczema or allergic rhinitis?
8. Do your symptoms occur at only a certain time of year?
9. Are there any triggers which make you feel tight chested, wheeze or cough?
