🩺 What is a Lung Function Test? 🩺

A lung function test measures how well your lungs work by assessing lung capacity, airflow, and oxygen delivery. These tests are essential for detecting early signs of lung conditions, including asthma, COPD, and more.

Early diagnosis allows for proactive treatment, keeping your breathing easier for longer. If you’re experiencing shortness of breath or persistent cough, ask your doctor if a lung function test might be right for you. Learn how we can help at VirginiaLung.com.
