A: That's okay! Our staff will work with you and adjust as needed. Do your best—that's all we ask.

Rest between attempts
Special note: Your test may be repeated after using a breathing medication (bronchodilator) to see how much your breathing improves with treatment.

Wear a nose clip and breathe through a mouthpiece

Take short, shallow breaths

The mouthpiece will be briefly blocked for a few seconds (this may feel slightly uncomfortable but is very brief)

Important difference: Our office uses advanced equipment that does NOT require you to sit in an enclosed booth. This makes the test more comfortable, especially if you have concerns about closed spaces.
