Pulmonary Function

[Miloroon]

I just had a pulmonary function test and it was normal. I had my first asthma attack during a case of the flu in February. I’m 62 and did have asthma as a child, but had no problem since the age of 9 or 10. What does a normal test mean? Was the asthmatic bronchitis I had just a freak thing? Any input would be appreciated.

Hi Miloroon 😊

Glad to hear that your Pulmonary Function Test was normal. Hope you are feeling well too!

PFT's are used to assess how well your lungs work by measuring how much air you inhale, how much you exhale and how quickly you exhale. It is also used periodically to monitor your asthma and check whether a treatment is working...
