PFT is not safe currently due to the pandemic. Asthma can be treated clinically by judgement and proper examination.

Hi. I understand your concern s.PFT is not recommended in this covid times. If done needs to be done with proper filters and in a room which has hepa filter wilh all precautions. Asthma can be assessed based on symptoms as well. Consult a pulmonologist online for a detailed analysis of your symptoms and further management plan
