My spirometry tests are done annually kujude, and yes it is possible that after "flare-ups" your lung function suffers each time, but if you take care of yourself with the right amount of exercise, breathing technique, good diet and a positive attitude it is possible to improve a little.

If you are at all worried then do please give the British Lung Foundation's Helpline a call on 03000 030 555. Their lines are open Monday to Friday 10am - 6pm.

Keep on keeping on ...
