scottmack Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 (edited) So I've got a Spirometry test in a few days to find out whether or not my childhood asthma was a misdiagnosis or not, Over the years as a child I played my "asthma" up on one or two occasions even though I'd never had any symptoms from it to get time off school :wallbash: Now im 19 and wanting to join the army and its come back to bite me in the arse :psyduck: So anybody had one of these tests before? Im pretty confident I dont have asthma and it was a misdiagnosis due to my mother being one of those overbearing types :facepalm: and I've never experienced any of it of the years of sport (Mainly Rugby and Running). But I cant help but be nervous as hell in case I do fail it I can kiss that dream goodbye :psyduck: Edited February 10, 2013 by scottmack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RitualBlack Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 I have had them done several times (I have pretty bad asthma). You just empty your lung capacity into the device and a graph is made from your results. If you have never needed inhalers there really is nothing to be worried about especially if you do running. Best of luck with your tests :thumbsup: . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottmack Posted February 10, 2013 Author Share Posted February 10, 2013 No I've never needed them or had to stop to use them, I've just had them prescribed to sit in my cupboard at home :tongue: I suppose I will know for sure in a few days but its hard not to be nervous about failing it :psyduck: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyYou Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 If you do sports, involving a lot of running..... and don't require an inhaler on a regular basis, or, not at all..... You will pass with flying colors. Wonder why my spell check stopped working...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
