Frequently Asked Questions
There are many different reasons your doctor may send you to get a lung function test. Some of these reasons include:
- To diagnose the cause of a cough or shortness of breath
- To evaluate the severity of disease
- As a general check-up for lung health especially if you have had exposure to cigarette smoke or other hazardous chemicals
- To track disease progression
If you take any inhalers bring these along with you to your test. Wear comfortable clothes that will not restrict your breathing.
During the testing you may feel a little bit breathless. The tests can also make you cough and lightheaded for a few seconds. This is normal and you will be given time to recover between tests. There are no side effects from testing and you will be fine to drive home afterwards.
