The spirometry test is often repeated after giving you a breathing medicine (bronchodilator) to find out how much better you might breathe with this type of medicine. You will be asked to repeat this test two or three times to get an accurate measure of your lung function. It can take practice to be able to do spirometry well. The staff person will work with you to learn how to do the test correctly. It usually takes 30 minutes to complete this test.
