I come from a small midwestern town and when my kids and their friends were little we had a Dr. who seemed to diagnose every single kid with "Asthma."
They all walked around with inhalers for a couple of years but seldom if ever used them.
Now two of them are applying to service academies and freaking out about "Asthma" on the medical.
We're talking about multisport varsity athletes who haven't used an inhaler since age 8 or so. No respiratory issues.
Two questions: Since this occurred before age 13 should they even disclose it at all? And are medical records required pre age 13?
