A member asked:
Could you tell me what happens during testing for asthma?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Simple spirometry testing involved blowing into the mouthpiece and measuring the force and amount of air expelled at specific times. Depending on the values, obstructions can be determined. In addition to asthma, other conditions may be unveiled that seem like asthma but are not.
