Breathing test

[Kent D]

Does anybody in forum have the breathing test where you blow out less than 30?

Yes, all of as the disease progresses will end up there and further

Last time steve was tested, in October , he was at 29 or 30%. They never tested him again

Not below 30, but I have been at 30% fo over 18 months. Thankfully it has stabilized there.

Yep, I was 27% when last tested in Dec 2013. The Spirometry test makes no allowance for how good or poor a PALS' lip seal is.
At this stage I'm more interested in my O2 sats - especially overnight levels - which are checked periodically.

Steve was getting good lip seal as they helped. He was having full pft every 6 weeks to 2 months.
