A member asked:

Is there any at home tests i can do to see if my lungs are healthy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No at home tests: There are no reliable at home tests to asses lung healthiness. We use pulmonary function tests in the office, which are indicated if we suspect asthma or copd. If you don't smoke and do aerobic exercise regularly, you probably have pretty healthy lungs!
