[quote:d044d]WEDNESDAY, Oct. 25 (HealthDay News) - Being overweight increases the odds you'll be misdiagnosed as having asthma when other problems are actually to blame for shortness of breath or wheezing.
That's the conclusion of a new study that was to be presented Monday at the American College of Chest Physicians annual meeting, in Salt Lake City. Researchers found about 60 percent of overweight people diagnosed with asthma actually didn't have the lung disease. [/quote:d044d]
