A member asked:
Is there a way to fake your lung capacity in a blowing test?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Why? : The answer is not with adequate consistency to get a good study, but why would you want to do that? These tests are expensive and time consuming, why would you waste your own and everyone else's time to do it.

What is a lung capacity test?
Pulm. said spiro. tests were "99% normal", but showed "slightly reduced lung capacity." He said "it's nothing to worry about." What does that mean?
Results of a breathing test, i was at 60% of capacity but my pulse ox was 97 and my chest and lungs were clear. How could vitals be fine but at 60% ?
Had a PFT Test done Results are as follows: Can someone explain them? Spirometry: FVC 98% FEV1 106% FEV1/FVC 81% FEF 25-75% 154% PEF 126% LUNG Volume TLC-90% VC-100% FRC PL-75% RV-57% DIFFUSING CAPACITY DLCO-63% DLCO/VA-75% VA-83%
