Frequently asked questions

For any unanswered questions, reach out to our support team via email. We will assist you as soon as possible

Can we do a PFT test at home?plus

Some basic lung tests can be done at home: peak flow meters and validated handheld spirometers let patients monitor airflow and detect changes in asthma or COPD. However, full pulmonary function testing (lung volumes, diffusion capacity, body plethysmography) requires specialized lab equipment and trained staff and cannot be fully replicated at home. Use home devices only with clinical guidance; don't use them during sudden severe breathlessness.

How to do a pulmonary function test at home?plus

To perform a home pulmonary function check, sit upright, breathe normally, then seal lips around a peak flow meter or handheld spirometer. Inhale fully, then blast out air as hard and fast as possible into the device for one to two seconds. Repeat at least three times, record the best reading, clean the mouthpiece, track trends, and contact your clinician if readings drop or symptoms worsen.

How much does a PFT test cost?plus

Costs vary widely by country, facility, and test type. Under public healthcare systems PFTs are often free to patients; private spirometry typically costs about $30–$200, while comprehensive lung function panels (including diffusion and plethysmography) can be $150–$600 or more. In India typical fees are roughly ₹300–₹2,000. Insurance or Medicare often covers part or all of the cost.

How can I check if my lungs are ok at home?plus

Check breathing at rest: count breaths per minute (normal 12–20), note cough, chest pain or wheeze. Use a pulse oximeter (normal ≥94% in adults) and a peak flow meter if you have asthma. Do a short exertion test (walk 1–2 minutes) and watch for undue breathlessness. Seek urgent care for SpO2 under 94%, severe breathlessness, chest pain, confusion, or blue lips.

Can I drink coffee or tea before PFT At Home ( Pulmonary Function Test )?plus

If PFT At Home ( Pulmonary Function Test ) needs fasting, avoid tea and coffee (even without sugar) during the fasting window, as they can affect some results; plain water is fine. If no fasting is required, your usual drinks are okay.

Can I exercise before PFT At Home ( Pulmonary Function Test )?plus

Avoid strenuous exercise for 12 to 24 hours before PFT At Home ( Pulmonary Function Test ), since intense activity can temporarily change several blood markers. Light everyday movement is fine.
