Spirometry: Spirometry is a simple breathing test that can help identify basic patterns of disease. This test is not used to diagnose a disease but allows you to objectively measure your lung function so it can be tracked over time once a diagnosis is made. To find out if you have lung disease or not, please talk to a pulmonologist who can specifically address your concerns & perform necessary tests needed.

Something specific ?: You get more from this site if you provide background info on an issue & ask a related question. There are a variety of tests for lung function or appearance, ranging from simple blood tests, breathing tests, x-rays or biopsies. If you have a specific lung problem/disease in mind you are welcome to start over. Your posts are not linked & go to the site at random.
