A member asked:
Had pulmonary function test, breathing patterns were all great but breathing got slightly better after using blue puffer. does this indicate asthma?

It depends: If there was 12% or greater improvement in your FEV1% for example, this would indicate that your bronchospasm is reversible with albuterol. More information is needed, and a virtual appt can be arranged.
