Why is Lung Function Test important?

Generally, a cough may be triggered by many reasons, and one of the most effective ways to find out the cause of your prolonged cough is to do a lung function test.

Who is recommended to go for a lung function test?

Individuals who:

  • Contracted COVID-19 before

Peak Flow | Etern Medical

Peak Flow Test

A peak flow test is a simple device that helps measure the maximum speed at which you can blow air out of your lungs. This will give you an idea whether you have poor lung functions. This may be due to narrowing of airways, reduction of lung volume or problem with the chest walls.  By repeating this test every 2-3 months will help guide your personal lung management through exercise and medications

Spirometry Test

On the other hand, a spirometry test will be able to assess your breathing patterns and diagnose if you have asthma or obstructive lung disease [Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease COPD.]
