Spirometry Testing
This test will help your doctor see how well your lungs are working so they can find breathing problems early and choose the right treatment for you.
Spirometry Testing
Spirometry is a breathing test used to check how well your lungs are working. It measures how much air you can breathe in and out, and how quickly you can exhale. A spirometry test can help identify conditions affecting your lungs, including asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It can also be used to monitor how well your current treatment is working.
This test can support the diagnosis of:
- Asthma
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
- Restrictive lung disease
- Other chronic respiratory conditions
It is also used to monitor treatment progress and adjust management plans if needed.
What to Expect During Spirometry Testing
How the spirometry test works:
1. Deep Breathing - You’ll be asked to breathe in deeply to fill your lungs.
2. Blow Into Mouthpiece - Then blow out as hard and fast as you can into a mouthpiece.
3. Results Recorded - The mouthpiece is connected to a machine that measures how much and how fast you breathe out.
4. Repeat for Accuracy - You may be asked to repeat the test a few times to ensure the results are accurate.
5. GP Review - Your GP will go over the results with you and explain what they mean for your lung health.
Spirometry Testing for Asthma
If you experience shortness of breath, wheezing, frequent coughing, or a build-up of mucus, your GP may recommend an asthma spirometry test to better understand your symptoms.
A spirometry test for asthma can help determine if your condition is obstructive or restrictive and guide the most effective treatment plan.
