What is a Spirometry test?

Spirometry is a common office test used to assess how well your lungs work by measuring how much air you inhale, how much you exhale and how quickly you exhale. Spirometry test services are used to diagnose asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and other conditions that affect breathing. A spirometry test may also be used periodically to check whether a treatment for a chronic lung condition is helping you breathe better.
