A member asked:
Can a lung function test show if i have exercise induced asthma?
9 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: A specific kind of pulmonary function test can be performed where the patient is asked to exercise either on a treadmill or stationary bicycle. The goal is to reproduce the symptoms and check the lung function during and after exercise. It's not a perfect test, but is often helpful in making the diagnosis.

Sometimes: Asthma may or may not show on your pulmonary function test. Bronchoprovocation testing usually confirms asthma but is not entirely safe or necessary. Exercise induced asthma is largely diagnosed by history and response to bronchodilators prior to exercise.
