A member asked:
I have a "pulmonary function test" and "execise induced asthma test" can they tell if i have respiratory acidosis?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: You need a blood test to ascertain that. But unless the lung function test is severely abnormal, respiratory acidosis is highly unlikely.

No: You need bloodwork to determine if you have acidosis of any kind.
