There are a few different ways to tell if you have asthma, since the symptoms and signs can vary from person to person. Some common symptoms include wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath. Asthma can also cause a feeling of tightness in the neck or jaw, which is sometimes called "the asthma cough."<br><br>As for signs, one key indicator is how your lungs respond when you take a deep breath.
