A member asked:
How big a drop in peak flow is indicative of asthma? highest is 720 but becomes 660 - 610 without ventolin. can ventolin improve pf in healthy people?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Numbers and Symptoms: In a patient with known asthma, we generally understand an exacerbation to be in the 75% drop range on peak flow. Your numbers reflect a 92% drop. No, ventolin does not improve peak flow in healthy people. Do you have shortness of breath? You take flonase, which is for allergic rhinitis? Are you interested in athletic performance? A Prime Consult may help further the understanding you seek!
