Spirometry

Went after six weeks ago being told moderate obstruction and early copd to having another test today and being told it's normal. The nurse said the poor reading was probably due to a bad breathing day and chest cold. Just wanted to let you all know and say thanks for all your support over the past few weeks of stress. You are all lovely people xo

To be honest I was so pleased myself that I was just happy it was normal after all my stressing I did it even ask and am happy just to know it's normal after being moderate obstruction after chest cold xo

I’m glad that you got the result you should have expected, given that you are normally healthy. It makes me cross that they do these tests when the protocol dictates that they should not ( directly after a cold or infection) and then send you away to worry for weeks about what is actually a false reading. Onwards and upwards. Forget about it now and get on with enjoying your life.
