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.
