Can't breathe

Hi Cheri!


Your exhaling output was low @ 55%.
When you did that, did the doctor (or nurse) "cheer you on", saying, "blow, blow, blow..."?
I've seen doctor's with their patients doing the peak flow test, (I've had them too), and they usually stand right there cheering you on so that you get ALL OF THE AIR out of your lungs. The "cheering" will help you to get your best reading.

Oh Denise, that's right! The one time i had this test done, when i was through blowing, the nurse looked at me funny and said; "I don't believe you blew all your air out... you got a reading like someone with no lungs.. try again"
and the second time she cheered me on.
Oh, that's better, i got a 90 or 95 the second time.
