Avoid eating, smoking, and exercising four to eight hours before the test.

Q: Can you eat or drink before a pulmonary function test?

You can eat or drink before the test, but we don't advise strenuous exercise or eating a substantial meal before your visit. Your doctor can urge you to adhere to additional recommendations before testing, such as Medications, depending on your medical condition.

Q: How will I feel after a pulmonary function test?

For the most part, PFTs are safe. However, you might feel lightheaded or have trouble breathing because the test might call for you to breathe swiftly in and out. Additionally, you run the danger of passing out. Inform your doctor if you have dizziness.

Q: What do you wear to a lung function test?

To walk during the Lung Function Test, you must wear comfortable shoes or loose-fitting clothing.

Q: How long does a full lung function test take?

The non-invasive, painless lung function tests are available. They entail breathing into and exhaling into specialized equipment. The entire set of tests takes 20 to 60 minutes. A test called spirometry can determine how well you breathe in and out.

Q: Why can't you have caffeine before a pulmonary function test?

You must avoid caffeine because it can open up your airways and let more air through than usual.

Q: What should I not do before the lung function test?

If your healthcare practitioner advises you to stop taking specific medications before the operation, stop taking them. If your doctor advises you to stop smoking before the test, do so. Stop eating a heavy meal if your healthcare practitioner advises you to avoid consuming a large meal before the test.

Q: Is it normal to be tired after a pulmonary function test?

The fact that you can feel exhausted following the test and should get lots of rest is typical.

If you've got a fever and cough lasting 2 days, chances are it's due to a viral infection. Your body increases temperature to fight off the virus internally. Resting up, staying hydrated, and taking acetaminophen eases symptoms. However, worsening issues or breathing troubles require prompt medical attention.

I am 25 years old female and I have suffiring from khasi for last 5 months i have used many tablets & sirup for khasi but have not got any relief. What should I do now please suggest me

Female | 25

you should see a respiratory specialist. A chronic cough or khasi for more than four weeks can signify an underlying respiratory disease like asthma, bronchitis and even tuberculosis.

Female | 25

When you have repeated contamination and signs such as coughing, chest pain, and difficulty breathing, you must contact your doctor as soon as possible. These TB strains could be your TB drug-resistance treatment. The need for urgent treatment of these symptoms is the main reason for stopping the infection's growth.

I am 52 yr old female patient. I'm suffering with dry cough and wheezing since 4 days. What should I do now?

Female | 52

You are having a hard time with a dry cough and wheezing. These symptoms could be signs of a respiratory infection or asthma. You may have a dry cough due to irritation in your throat. Wheezing is a high-pitched whistling sound usually produced when the airways are narrowed. To relieve your symptoms, you can use a humidifier, drink warm liquids, avoid triggers like smoke or strong odors, and stay hydrated. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it would be wise to visit a pulmonologist.

I had dry cough sometimes and feels sinuses pressure after eating especially forehead

Male | 28

Post-nasal drip could cause your discomfort. Excess mucus draining down your throat can make you cough and feel sinus pressure around your forehead area. Food consumption might trigger it. Staying hydrated by drinking water regularly, and using saline nasal spray, could alleviate these symptoms.

Since couple of days, I ’m suffering with cold cough and fever .. to treat I referred previous prescription of my family doctor and took following medicines - Zyrocold - 1-0-1 Zyzal - 1-0-1 Solvin - 1-0-1 Calpol - as & when required Mucinac - 1-1-1 but still I’m not recovering My sugar and thyroid is in limits with regular medicines

Female | 56

Taking medicines didn't help you feel better, that's concerning. Colds, coughs and fevers are often viral, requiring tailored treatment. Stay hydrated, well-rested and nourished. However, revisit your doctor for re-evaluation. Tests may reveal the issue, allowing adjusted treatment. Struggling through illness alone risks complications.

Female | 29

It could be 5 days of a productive cough that may signal a respiratory or bronchial infection. In addition, you need to see a pulmonologist who will determine it for sure and give you an appointment.

I'm suffering with sudden breathless at night

Female | 24

Nighttime breathing troubles can feel frightening. Airways narrowing from asthma is one potential cause, making inhalation difficult. Heart conditions and anxiety disorders are other possibilities leading to this issue. Consulting a pulmonologist is vital for precise diagnosis and suitable treatment recommendation, enabling improved nocturnal respiration.

My mother is 68th yr old and have cough issue, we meditate her properly nd have completed every possible test regarding cough, all test reports are normal. She couldn't sleep an hour properly Plz help us.

Female | 68

Coughing for a long time can still appear despite the normal test results because of other causes such as postnasal drip or acid reflux. These problems can lead to the throat getting more irritated and the cough lasting longer. To support her in getting more sleep, you may want to raise her head while she is sleeping and make the room humid. Besides that, avoiding bad triggers such as smoke or strong odors can be useful. If the situation persists, a visit to either a pulmonologist or allergist might be a good thing.

The symptoms you mentioned, such as hoarseness, difficulty speaking, and ear pain, could be post-viral laryngitis. It is one of the possible post-viral complications following a viral infection like COVID. Make sure to rest your voice, drink plenty of fluids, and steer clear of irritants such as smoking. If the symptoms do not go away, it is a good idea to visit an ENT specialist for a more detailed examination and treatment.

Sir I have severe cough for twenty days ,have dry mucus during cough, and always feel mucus in my throat.please advice treatment

Male | 57

You have had a dry cough for the last twenty days and feel like you have mucus in your throat. It could be due to a respiratory infection or allergies. Drink plenty of fluids, use a humidifier, and try cough syrups or lozenges for over-the-counter medicines. If it persists, it is advisable to visit a pulmonologist for further examination.

Male | 38

According to your symptoms and X-ray results, it looks like you might have a respiratory infection. This can be a source of throat irritation, coughing, and breathing problems. Take over-the-counter cough syrup to assist with the cough. Furthermore, you should drink sufficient fluids and sleep well. Consult a pulmonologist and get further evaluation and treatment in case your symptoms persist or worsen.

I've been coughing for more than 3 weeks and sometimes I find it hard to breathe

Female | 22

It seems like you’re having a hard time. Not being able to breathe well and coughing for more than 3 weeks is strange. A bad cold or even asthma can cause these problems. But it could also mean that there’s something wrong with your lungs. If you don’t take care of it right away, then you might have even more trouble later on. Usually, you’ll need drugs that help you breathe better and cure any infection. So I think seeing a pulmonologist as soon as possible would be the best thing to do.

I have a cold or flu or covid and my asthma is a lot worse than it has ever been. I am wheezing constantly and my reliever inhaler is not reducing the wheeze at all. I have a lot of mucus stuck in my chest and constantly coughing does not seem to be getting rid of the mucus and I think the mucus is causing me to wheeze constantly

Female | 34

Wheezing may be due to the mucus in your chest that is obstructing the air passage. The coughing may not be enough to dislodge the mucus. Adherence to your inhaler prescription is crucial. Sipping enough fluids and taking a humidifier can ease the mucus. Get medical help from a pulmonologist if the situation gets worse.

I’m sick and I have pneumonia and the doctor prescribed me 2 injections and suppositories but I’m afraid I don’t want them. Please help me what should I do?

Female | 14

Pneumonia is a serious lung infection making breathing difficult. Fever and cough come with pneumonia too. Doctors prescribe injections and suppositories to fight the infection. You must follow the doctor's advice for quick recovery. If injections scare you, discuss concerns with your doctor. They'll explain why treatments are needed and ease your worries. Getting proper treatment is crucial for overcoming pneumonia.

My uncle had a stiffness in left side so dr suggested echo ecg . The report is normal. Then we do xray of lung . It shows a bubble in left lung . Then we do tb test and cect . Tb test is Negative. Cect shows air filled cavity . Is it cancer????

Male | 50

The bubble in the left lung can be due to a thing called "pneumothorax," that is similar to having a lung outside the body. It is not usually cancer but can promote chest pain and shortness of breath. The treatment can be either observing it with the use of a tiny tube to remove the trapped air or in some cases surgery. Along with necessary follow-ups, it is also crucial to consult with a pulmonologist to determine the best course of action.
