Asthma occurs due to problems in the lungs and the immune system's over-reaction to triggers in the environment that we breathe in.

Asthma symptoms can differ over time or become intermittent due to changes in the body or environment. 
As a chronic condition, there is no cure for asthma and symptoms can resurface at any time.
Asthma patients who engaged in optimal levels of recommended physical activity were better able to control their asthma than patients who were inactive.

Pulmonary Function Tests

The most common pulmonary function tests used are:

• Spirometry
• Gas diffusion
• Lung plethysmography

Pulmonary function tests would not only check how well a person is breathing but also how effectively the lungs are able to conduct oxygen to the rest of the body. 

In addition to air flow, these tests would measure the size and volume of the lung and lung diffusion.
If you want to learn more about Pulmonary Function Tests (PFTs), feel free to consult Dr. Arunesh Kumar.
