Overdiagnosis Of Asthma

Overdiagnosis of asthma in obese and nonobese adults
CMAJ – November 18, 2008; 179 (11).

Physicians should consider objective testing using spirometry and, if necessary, bronchial challenge testing to confirm asthma in patients with respiratory symptoms.

Overdiagnosis? I would call that a diagnostic suspicion of asthma. What is the wait time for the lung function tests to confirm the diagnosis? Three weeks or three months?
