Spirometery test

Last time I had a lung function test I had a severe bleed after so am dreading doing it again. Has anyone else had the same experience. I am prone to bleeding with Bronchiectasis anyway so I feel the lung function tests aggravate the situation

Many thanks in advance

I have the same disease but haven't had a bleed from the lung function test, but I did refuse to do the last bit of it where the oxygen is cut off and you have to try to breath through the mouthpiece. Maybe you had an infection and the test made it worse. Hope your feeling better.

Thank you for taking time to reply . I will have to have one soon so hopefully I will be ok this time. Maybe as you say there was an infection brewing .
