What Does a PFT Measure?
A PFT (also called spirometry) measures:
- How much air you can breathe out
- How fast you can breathe it out
- Whether your airways are narrowed, as in asthma
This helps the doctor check for asthma and see how your airways are working, and track how well your treatment is working over time. The doctor reads a PFT together with your symptoms, history and examination, never on its own.
Who Needs a PFT?
The doctor may advise a PFT if you have:
- Asthma or wheezing (allergic asthma)
- A chronic cough
- Breathlessness or chest tightness
- A need to track lung health during the asthma and breathing care program
How the Test Is Done
- You sit comfortably and a soft clip is placed on your nose.
- You breathe in deeply, then blow out as hard and fast as you can into a mouthpiece connected to a machine.
- This is repeated a few times to get an accurate reading.
- The doctor may ask you to repeat it after using an inhaler, to compare.
It does not hurt. Some people feel a little tired or light-headed for a moment from the deep breathing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does a PFT hurt?
No. You just breathe into a mouthpiece.
Can children do a PFT?
Children who can follow breathing instructions can usually do it.
Should I use my inhaler before the test?
Please don’t stop or change your medicines before the test unless the doctor tells you to.
Is a PFT the same as an allergy test?
No. A PFT checks how your lungs work. An IgE blood test looks for allergy triggers. The doctor may advise one or both.
