Asthma is a long-term condition that affects your airways – the tubes that carry air in and out of your lungs. If you come into contact with one of your asthma triggers, it can make your symptoms worse and even bring on an asthma attack.

Spirometry is a breathing test which measures the speed and amount of air you can breathe out. You will be asked to take a deep breath in and then blow out into a mouthpiece connected to a spirometer, until your lungs are completely empty. This routine will be repeated to ensure the results are consistent.
