I was diagnosed with non specific asthma 2 years ago at 69. My type starts with a tickle in the throat, coughing and sadly incontinence. My dad a smoker had cold.

How many types of asthma are there. My friend says I probably only have chronic cough

Who knows? ... hundreds maybe thousands

They believe I have a "mucus producing phenotype" and when I had a quick look there appears to be hundreds of sub-types of those and there where tons of other "phenotypes"
