A member asked:
I had a pfr test for asthma 6 years ago. the reading came back normal, all between 96-102%. i do feel burning and wheezing in chest sometimes. would this test rule out asthma or copd definitively? or more tests needed to confirm.

Pulmonologist: Pulmonary testing may include pfts with and without the use of a bronchodilator, for example Alvuterol. Multiple episodes of physician diagnosed wheezing may lead to the diagnosis. A work up is indicated.
