The Allergy Group uses state-of-the-art spirometry equipment to test lung function. Spirometry measures how much air you can inhale as well as how much and how fast you can exhale air. It is used to diagnose asthma or determine the severity of the disease.<\/h4>\n

The patient is asked to take the deepest breath they can, and then exhale into the sensor as hard as possible, for as long as possible. Then the patient is asked to rapidly inhale.<\/h4>\n
