lung function testing
Lung function testing is the best way to accurately assess the severity of your lung condition and to assist with making a diagnosis
The lung function testing at ChestCare is more accurate and more comprehensive than a spirometry test performed at a GP practice.

Reasons to have a lung function test
- Assessment of the cause of breathlessness
- To establish the lung capacity to determine if operations or medical therapies can be safely performed
- To decide if breathlessness is as a result of a heart condition or a lung condition
- To monitor the response of lung function to a new treatment
The measurements require various breathing manoeuvres and you will be coached through these by a respiratory scientist
