Breathing tests, also known as lung function tests, can be useful in diagnosing conditions affecting your airways and lungs. The most common type of test is spirometry, which measures how much air your lungs can hold and how well you can exhale that air from your body.
Dr. Trate can perform in-office breathing tests to diagnose conditions, like asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
The tests require you to blow air into a machine that measures your results. Dr. Trate can review this information to determine if you have any breathing or lung abnormalities. If she detects any problems with your breathing or lung functionality, she can discuss the results and create an individual care plan to treat your symptoms.
