A member asked:
If i don't have asthma and my breathing is fine, could i fail a bronchial challenge test?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Potentially: The most common bronchial challenge test is called a methacholine challenge test. This test can be "false positive" in patients who recently had the flu or who have seasonal allergies. The interpretation of the bronchial challenge test requires a physician who has extensive knowledge of the patient.
