What Is A Spirometry Test?
A spirometry test is a pulmonary (lung) test that measures your breathing ability. Spirometry tests involve blowing into a machine that gauges lung capacity and your rate of breathing, allowing our staff at WellHealth Medical Associates to assess your lung function and diagnose common pulmonary concerns, like COPD or asthma. This test can also help our providers monitor the effectiveness of lung treatments to guide our approach. If you find yourself frequently wheezing or struggling to get enough air, contact our practice in Rochester Hills or Belleville, MI to schedule a spirometry test and start your treatment journey.
How Does A Spirometry Test Work?
A spirometry test is very simple — all you need to do is take a deep breath and exhale into the machine as it takes readings. For the most complete picture of your lung health, we may ask you to do this several times. If you are a smoker or use an asthma inhaler to help you breathe, you should inform our team beforehand and refrain from smoking for at least an hour before your spirometry test. Once we have your results, we'll review the findings and discuss a treatment plan to help you breathe comfortably.

WellHealth Medical Associates Reviews
Been coming here for years,great staff,and Dr.Murthy is a great Dr! He takes his time and listens to you!!Highly recommend!
Highly recommend this facility. Entire staff was efficient and knowledgeable. The doctor was the best I've been to in years he was patient and kind explaining and answering all my concerns. Making this my primary care for sure.
I’ve been going here for years now. Dr. Murthy is a great doctor. Always looks out for my best interest. Only thing I’ve ever had a problem with is getting called on Friday night for video when my appt was on a Wednesday. But I understand there’s only 2 providers and a lot of patients. Other than that they helped me with a lot. Thank you guys
He's an extremely smart doctor very well educated I'd recommend him to anyone
I have been a patient at Wellhealth for years now…I am always well taken care of, no matter what the reason of my visit. Staff has always been beyond great, even new faces…but Sarah is the secret sauce to this office. I appreciate everyone here and strongly recommend this office.
