PFT (Spirometry) in early pregnancy
As I have been having perennial allergic rhinitis for almost 10 years now, I was talking montair-lc and duonase to manage the symptoms regularly.
As my gynaec said those medicines are contra indicated, I had been to a pulmonologist. He ordered a PFT to look at lung function.
He prescribed foracort and fluticasone inhalers as safe.
I have been having a bit of chest pain and throat irritation after the PFT test. Is PFT safe in pregnancy?
