My son had breathing issues and the pediatrician did a lung function test, usko spirometry bolte hai. They also check for allergies sometimes, as that can trigger asthma. Best to see a chest specialist for proper diagnosis and treatment plan, don't delay.
Hello! Agar saans lene mein takleef ho rahi hai, toh first step is always to visit a doctor. They might suggest a 'pulmonary function test' or PFT. It's not just one test, sometimes a few different ones to understand your lungs better. Don't self-diagnose, ok?
Mere time pe toh itni tests nahi hoti thi, but ab toh bahut advance ho gaya hai. My brother-in-law had breathing problems, doctor did some lung capacity tests and found it was mild asthma. So don't worry too much, just get it checked properly by a good doctor. Early diagnosis is always better.
Hey! Usually for adults, doctors suggest a spirometry test. It checks how much air you can breathe in and out, and how fast. Sometimes they might give you a bronchodilator and re-test to see the difference. History of symptoms is also important. So consult a good pulmonologist.

Dude, I had coughing fits and wheezing, my doc sent me for this breathing test, spirometry type. Had to blow into a machine. Turned out to be mild asthma only. Just go to a general physician first, they'll guide u to the right specialist. It's not a big deal once u know what it is.
