Just got a peak flow meter. i'm 39 and 5' 5" and my best reading was 430 though usually closer to 370. does that sound like a normal result?

Peak flow: According to my values based on your age, sex and height, about 620 L/min would be ideal. Keep practicing to see if you can improve your results and if not, follow up with your doctor. All the best.
