I love how we're all here at some point cuz we got a test coming up 😂 mines tomorrow 🙄

I'm out of breath just watching this. My test is at 1 today.

I'm taking a test like this next month. I hope it all goes well🤞 The lady on here did great! 👍

I did this and I have a vague memory of my booth being like a Glass Egg (shape) but the same functions done. And I also remember them depressurizing it. I was being tested for Pulmonary Fibrosis so I wouldn't have to do a CT scan (which I ended up doing 2 high resolutions years later confirming I had scars on my lungs) this was 20 plus years ago. And They made me do it like 5 times. And they kept yelling "blow blow blow". Now this might be because computers and software wasn't as sensitive back then. its probably simpler today than back then. my lungs got a good workout and kind of hurt the following days but I was put on steroids and given asthma pills. this made it worse with high blood pressure and I went back on basic Albuterol after that. don't worry about this test. its basically to see what meds or treatment you might need. be happy you have access to this kind of treatment. People in some countries don't have access to this. this is why I Support Doctors without Borders. . and that's; not a plug on my part but it would be justified if it were.

So far I had this test twice. Each time it takes 1 and 1/2 hours. It sucks because you're completely exhausted when you're done

She did a really nice job 👍

My test is today. Now I know a little better what to look forward to.

I go in tomorrow for mine because I'm having issues breathing. I have scar tissue on my lungs from covid and it's still causing problems. Hopefully they will be nice and respectful knowing that I won't be able to breathe or even hold my breathe like this lady.

I gotta get this did on the 28th

That looks scary. I am autistic and I am going to a lung specialist soon. I have asthma that I can't get under control. My doctor requested a lung specialist today. I don't like having my nose plugged nor panting. It's going to be hard for me. I already feel like I am breathing through a windy tunnel. The only thing that helps is my inhaler and hot steamy drinks. I cough up phlegm and dirt a lot in the morning too. I even get nauseated because of the choking and pain in my throat. Sometimes it happens at night too. I always have attacks when it's humid and hot outside. Summer and Spring are the worst seasons for my health. Asthma is a horrible anxious inducing experience. It can be deadly if not treated properly. I even have seizures that are caused by lack of oxygen.

Got one Monday

Compared to a spinal tap, this test was an absolute breeze. Glad to have it over with. Hopefully, I will get some answers.

I did this test and I was not able to push for the extended period of time. So they cancelled the test and told be to come again after some days.

I do this every six months, due to scleroderma i got nodules in my lungs. It's always hard at the beginning then it gets easier. The last test gets tricky. I just did this yesterday. Waiting for results. Then I'll be back in 6 months.

I go on the thirty first for my test.

What is this test for?

The assistant is not friendly it’s like a tense situation 🧐🤨😔

I got to do one to see if I qualify for the military

Is their a Spanish version ? My dad's surgery depends on this test andnhe fails it because he can't understand

I go in the morning. I was thinking more info I have less concern I will be.

My lungs hurt just watching her. Post Covid patient here and my lungs don’t perform like they used too 😔 I’m only 25. First Appointment is tomorrow

Is it cleaned after every pt.? How can they clean the hose? I don't want to catch anything. Yuck.

I often take ppl to do a function test. This video shows me what happens.n

Not sure I'd want to be breathing through this machinery during a pandemic. Even if they change the mouthpiece their is a lot of tubing plus the inside workings of the machine that dozens of people before you have been breathing into.

That's it? The doctor told me this would take an hour and a half.

I don't think I can do this with that clamp on nose I'm closerphobic. And every time I inhale I cough omg.

Tightly closed box, panting with restriction, nurse telling you how to breath.. this’ll be fun. Can’t wait. Not to mention the SUPER awkward mouth to tube placement lmao

HR HUFF AND PUFF ?

What if you can't hold it for 10 sec? Or blow out for so long? I can't even do that....

the machine is the same but when I took this test it wasn't in a glass box

When they ask to push. Are we breathing the air out like when we normal breath or blowing the air out???

I get mine done this Thursday, I’m worried about my mouth on the equipment. I don’t kiss or share cups so this is freaking me out

She took that mouthpiece like a champ

I go for my test at 1PM today. I had Covid and they are making sure my lungs are okay.

👍👍👍👍

I wasn't even told to breath out hard. I just breathed out like normal. And, I have gone through hell, because the person giving me the test at a hospital had no idea what she was doing. So be really careful....if it doesn't seem right don't do it and demand upper management so it doesn't go on your health record. Because if they don't take it off.....it's a true living hell. Addendums are like getting a golden egg. Pulmonologist here is a control freak, and money hungry, no one stays his patient.

I don't understand why this test is so expensive. I was supposed to get one but I can't spend $1000 for a test.

Looks like meps

I definately had to blow harder than this demo. Hope it is all good!

The nurse lady is stressing me out and gives me anxiety just watching this

Now show the test being done on someone with asthma…..

Why are people scared of this.

😂😂😂😂😂😂

Brazzers.

Your annoying lady 😂
