Spirometry Testing Services For Cheektowaga, NY

Healthworks WNY offers a variety of occupational testing services and excels at providing timely services that comply with Cheektowaga, New York and federal occupational regulations. Pulmonary testing is a common medical test that can be required in some occupational injury events or to monitor or diagnose a medical condition. Pulmonary tests relate to the lungs and can measure lung performance, capacity and determine if damage to this sensitive organ has occurred. One of the most frequently used pulmonary tests is spirometry, which is a measurement of the capacity of the lungs and how swiftly air can be inhaled and expelled. This is an easy, and fairly risk-free, test to determine the health of the lungs.

Spirometry Testing Preparation

Cheektowaga Spirometry Testing

To prepare for a spirometry test with Healthworks in Cheektowaga, confirm with your doctor whether you should take any of your prescribed medications prior to the test. Some medications may affect your lung performance and skew your testing results. Let the technician at Healthworks WNY know about any health conditions you may have prior to your spirometry testing. The most common side effects of spirometry are dizziness and breathlessness. These are generally temporary and do not cause any long term harm.
