Asthmatic and chain smoker
Hello,
I've been asthmatic for over 15 years now. I've been taking Foracort 200 gor over 5 years now. In the last 5 years, I've never been admitted to hospital for breathing troubles which was quite frequent for the initial 10 years.
Also, I started smoking 8-10 cigarettes a day five years ago.
I want to know which kind of test should I take to get the result of my lung capacity and lung condition.
Hi . I understand your concern s. You will need to undergo a detailed examination and investigation like pulmonary function test which is needed to diagnose and also to assess severity of asthma based on which treatment can be started. Consult a pulmonologist for the same.
Next Steps
