Spirometry and Lung Function Testing
Good lung function is crucial to ensure that your lungs are functioning optimally and is vital to maintaining your overall health. Spirometry, a lung function test, is a simple and effective way to assess how well your lungs are working. At The Doctors Lounge, we provide professional spirometry testing to diagnose, monitor, and manage a variety of respiratory conditions.
WHAT IS SPIROMETRY
Spirometry is a non-invasive test that measures the amount of air you can inhale and exhale, as well as how quickly you can empty your lungs. It’s often used to detect and monitor conditions such as:
​
-
Asthma: To assess airflow and identify triggers.
-
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD): To evaluate lung function and track disease progression.
-
Pulmonary Fibrosis: To measure lung stiffness and capacity.
-
Respiratory Symptoms: Such as chronic coughing, wheezing, or shortness of breath.
​
The test involves breathing into a device called a spirometer, which records and analyses your lung function in real time.
WHY IS LUNG TESTING IMPORTANT?
A spirometry test can provide essential information about your respiratory health. It helps to:
​
-
Diagnose respiratory conditions early, ensuring prompt treatment.
-
Monitor the effectiveness of treatments for existing conditions like asthma or COPD.
-
Identify how lifestyle factors such as smoking may have affected your lungs.
-
Evaluate lung health before starting certain medications or undergoing surgery.
