Nitric Oxide test

Hi,

I've got a nitric oxide test on tuesday, and was wondering what this actually is? what its supposed to show? and what I'll have to do for it? the other question is does anyone know if i need to stop any of my meds before it?

thank you

Nitrous oxide test checks for inflammation within the lungs. My consultant prefers them. Basically u take a deep breath in. Blow out slow and steady into the tube. Easy to do And not as bad as the spirometry test . Depending on the reading indicates the inflamation within the lungs.

I take my medication as normal but usually leave a 4 hour gap between the two ..As I get spirometry done at same time. U might be better foning before the appointment and ask regarding medication.
