A member asked:
What do you suggest if my peak expiratory flow has never been over 250, should i be worried?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
More information/pft: Yes, for most adults, this would indicate an abnormal amount of air being expired. This may indicate obstruction/restriction or a combination of these conditions. Your physician will guide further testing to determine the underlying cause. Asthma is one of the more common causes of a low PEF.
