How Can You Understand Your Asthma Test Results? - Everyday Asthma Tips

How Can You Understand Your Asthma Test Results? Are you curious about how doctors evaluate your breathing health and what your asthma test results really mean? In this informative video, we'll explain the different types of tests used to diagnose and monitor asthma. We'll start by describing how spirometry works and what the key numbers, such as FEV one and FVC, tell us about your lung function. You'll learn how the ratio between these numbers can indicate airway obstruction, which is common in asthma. We’ll also cover the bronchodilator reversibility test, showing how improvement after medication points toward asthma. Additionally, we'll discuss the fractional exhaled nitric oxide test, which measures inflammation in your airways, and how it complements other tests. For more complex cases, a bronchoprovocation challenge may be performed to assess airway responsiveness. We’ll also explain the importance of monitoring peak flow readings daily to track your asthma control. Understanding these test results helps your healthcare provider confirm your diagnosis, determine severity, and adjust your treatment plan over time. Whether you're managing asthma or supporting someone who is, knowing what these results mean can help you work more effectively with your medical team.
