I love how we're all here at some point cuz we got a test coming up 😂 mines tomorrow 🙄
Yup
+1
mines today haha. we’ll see how it goes
@@myroadrashownz Ive got asthma but also am getting it for autoimmune things. I have a nose ring on each side, are they going to interfere?
Mines today
I'm out of breath just watching this. My test is at 1 today.
was there any chemical during the test
No...still on breathing tank. Hospice bed at home. Can't do anything lost my jobs because of my health..doctor says I won't be able to work again...I can't stand for no more than a minute or two before light head and losing breathe...it sucks
OMGOODNESS me too! 😂
what i'm asking is how will this test make you live longer and do you feel like it's adding insult to injury. I'm sorry but I just don't want to go out gasping for air. I apologize for being blunt. I've only been diagnosed about a month. It's not like you don't know theres a severe problem. just now it's confirmed. It's certainly not my intention to bum you out,sorry.
I'm taking a test like this next month.
I hope it all goes well🤞
The lady on here did great! 👍
What happened?
I did this and I have a vague memory of my booth being like a Glass Egg (shape) but the same functions done. And I also remember them depressurizing it. I was being tested for Pulmonary Fibrosis so I wouldn't have to do a CT scan (which I ended up doing 2 high resolutions years later confirming I had scars on my lungs) this was 20 plus years ago. And They made me do it like 5 times. And they kept yelling "blow blow blow". Now this might be because computers and software wasn't as sensitive back then. its probably simpler today than back then. my lungs got a good workout and kind of hurt the following days but I was put on steroids and given asthma pills. this made it worse with high blood pressure and I went back on basic Albuterol after that. don't worry about this test. its basically to see what meds or treatment you might need. be happy you have access to this kind of treatment. People in some countries don't have access to this. this is why I Support Doctors without Borders. . and that's; not a plug on my part but it would be justified if it were.
I go in tomorrow for mine because I'm having issues breathing. I have scar tissue on my lungs from covid and it's still causing problems. Hopefully they will be nice and respectful knowing that I won't be able to breathe or even hold my breathe like this lady.
I have 26% lung function and still do these tests. You can do it.
@@expression3639 I doubt that. My lungs haven't healed and I lost my job due to my health condition with collapsing lack of breathing, highly severe fatigue. Failed all the tests. With permanent scars on my lungs.
How was the test for you? I'm nervous because I have mine today 😬 also how are you doing now? What medications do they give for lung scars?
@@uofmrampage7535 are u fine now?? Any improvement??
@@Applecoco5 how did it go?
Compared to a spinal tap, this test was an absolute breeze. Glad to have it over with. Hopefully, I will get some answers.
Hello I was watching this clip. I have to has a pulminary test done in march. Which I am terrified of I cant use my inhailor or nose spray or take any allergy medicine. I tried to do this by holding my nose shut with my fingers and I cant even get to 10 with out coughing and feeling light headed. Did you find your result do they make you do exercises to to see how your breathing is with that as well?
My test is today. Now I know a little better what to look forward to.
So far I had this test twice. Each time it takes 1 and 1/2 hours. It sucks because you're completely exhausted when you're done
Is it cleaned after every pt.? How can they clean the hose? I don't want to catch anything. Yuck.
Different mouthpiece every patient
That looks scary. I am autistic and I am going to a lung specialist soon. I have asthma that I can't get under control. My doctor requested a lung specialist today. I don't like having my nose plugged nor panting. It's going to be hard for me. I already feel like I am breathing through a windy tunnel. The only thing that helps is my inhaler and hot steamy drinks. I cough up phlegm and dirt a lot in the morning too. I even get nauseated because of the choking and pain in my throat. Sometimes it happens at night too. I always have attacks when it's humid and hot outside. Summer and Spring are the worst seasons for my health. Asthma is a horrible anxious inducing experience. It can be deadly if not treated properly. I even have seizures that are caused by lack of oxygen.
So sorry to hear that you have to go thru all of this
Hope all is well! 🙏🏽
She did a really nice job 👍
I did this test and I was not able to push for the extended period of time. So they cancelled the test and told be to come again after some days.
The assistant is not friendly it’s like a tense situation 🧐🤨😔
Had mine done two weeks ago and the lady was very friendly and made me feel comfortable. Thank you Inspira medical 🏥 center in Vineland NJ 👍🏼
Probably just that it’s a demonstration, not a real test.
Lol no I had mine done today and they aren’t friendly at the hospital I had it done
I’m laughing reading this, but yes, you’re absolutely right: the physician is all business, and the tech is ALL business! Hah!
@@jonesfoto1036 I know they’re all business, but why do they gotta be so serious? Lol the tech was like getting mad at me cause I wasn’t pushing my breath as hard as she wanted “you’re not doing it right”. And getting upset lol
I got to do one to see if I qualify for the military
Same here, I have my appointment tomorrow🤞
@@michaelwynne5579 did you pass your test??
I do this every six months, due to scleroderma i got nodules in my lungs. It's always hard at the beginning then it gets easier. The last test gets tricky. I just did this yesterday. Waiting for results. Then I'll be back in 6 months.
i’m going for the same reason for the first time today. is it scary?
How do they know scleroderma from regular nodules? I have som eon my lungs but they’re told me it was nothing to be concerned about
I don't think I can do this with that clamp on nose I'm closerphobic. And every time I inhale I cough omg.
I cough too and sometimes it's nerves. That nose clip is the same as when you swim. just think of it as you're going swimming. its just to prevent lost of pressure. Its not that bad.
@@pauld724 I know I use to wear one of those nose plugs but since I got older I became claustrophobic and it's a big deal now. I think some of it is nerves too and a lot of phlegm.
@@Melanie-ix4nq I get the same thing from time to time. I hate Elevators. but You just close your eyes. once they explain everything and the door shuts, you hear that silence because its so insulated and they talk to you through a speaker. just close your eyes an follow the instructions. You should do just fine. Hope the best for you. My girlfriend has to do it. I was trying to comfort her and showing how it will be.
@@pauld724 Thank You!
@@Melanie-ix4nq Oh no problem. I mean I am not a health care provider. I was just sharing an experience. thanks in return.
Not sure I'd want to be breathing through this machinery during a pandemic. Even if they change the mouthpiece their is a lot of tubing plus the inside workings of the machine that dozens of people before you have been breathing into.
I go in the morning. I was thinking more info I have less concern I will be.
the machine is the same but when I took this test it wasn't in a glass box
What kind of box was it?
@@blackwholesoul7049 wasn't inside anything at all just in the room the test equipment was in
My lungs hurt just watching her. Post Covid patient here and my lungs don’t perform like they used too 😔 I’m only 25. First
Appointment is tomorrow
I’m in the same boat. Getting one of these today at 10am
I’m have this appointment on Wednesday. It’s been 2 months since I had COVID and it had scarred my lungs. my oxygen level goes down only when I walk. I hope I do well so I can stay off this oxygen.
did yall get the vaccine?.
i didnt and got "covid twice.
once when the "pandemic" started and again 2 months ago.
was barely sick the first time b the second had a horrible sore throat and fever. it had no affect on my normal life.
im taking this test for a job im sure it'll be easy.
@@LeoHeredia-su5rg when I got covid the vaccine was not available. I was able to get the vaccine once it was release and get my boosters now!
@@colinmishael9652 Good-luck! I’m sorry you’re going through this. My test did provide answers. So I’m hopeful yours will too!
Is their a Spanish version ? My dad's surgery depends on this test andnhe fails it because he can't understand
I gotta get this did on the 28th
Tightly closed box, panting with restriction, nurse telling you how to breath.. this’ll be fun. Can’t wait. Not to mention the SUPER awkward mouth to tube placement lmao
Forrreal it looks like we’re sucking a well never mind LOLOL
I think the enclosed box is claustrophobic and these tests are barbaric. Putting a patient under this kind of pressure is not right. Why distress the patient any further.
That's it? The doctor told me this would take an hour and a half.
I get mine done this Thursday, I’m worried about my mouth on the equipment. I don’t kiss or share cups so this is freaking me out
Well?
I often take ppl to do a function test. This video shows me what happens.n
What if you can't hold it for 10 sec? Or blow out for so long? I can't even do that....
Fr tho I can’t hold my breath for longer than 4 seconds😂😂
HR HUFF AND PUFF ?
What is this test for?
I go on the thirty first for my test.
Got one Monday
She took that mouthpiece like a champ
😂😂
yeah right he just grab the hold of that tip , hey honey are you downstairs hey you said you were bored and wanted something to do this video gave me a good idea.
When they ask to push. Are we breathing the air out like when we normal breath or blowing the air out???
I definately had to blow harder than this demo. Hope it is all good!
I don't understand why this test is so expensive. I was supposed to get one but I can't spend $1000 for a test.
Do you have insurance??
I go for my test at 1PM today. I had Covid and they are making sure my lungs are okay.
We’re they good ?
The nurse lady is stressing me out and gives me anxiety just watching this
same as me. I had a test today. the chest lab technician shouting me all the commands. she was stressed me to blow and breathing in. am worried about my test. i cant walk or climb the stairs. i thought it was heart problems. i had a mri heart scan and angiogram and after dr. referred to me this test. what can i do. and waiting the result.
Same here, here tone is terrible, you'd think she was talking to a toddler, I'd hate to have someone like that for mine.
She's obviously done them so much she become boss 🤖 robot.
Same!
@@cbisme6414 not even a toddler should be spoken to like that
@@blackwholesoul7049 totally agree, unfortunately too many do talk at their children like that and then wonder why they don't listen.
I wasn't even told to breath out hard. I just breathed out like normal. And, I have gone through hell, because the person giving me the test at a hospital had no idea what she was doing. So be really careful....if it doesn't seem right don't do it and demand upper management so it doesn't go on your health record. Because if they don't take it off.....it's a true living hell. Addendums are like getting a golden egg. Pulmonologist here is a control freak, and money hungry, no one stays his patient.
i hope all is well with you. i go for a pft on the 27th of this month
You did a svc ( slow vital capacity ), don't judge about a field you don't understand.
Good coaching makes all the difference in PFTs. It is so important.
Now show the test being done on someone with asthma…..
👍👍👍👍
Looks like meps
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Why are people scared of this.
Some people due to medical conditions sometimes get scared that their lungs won't be able to perform this test. I have the test today bc of COVID and i know I won't be able to do everything in this test. I and others are sometimes scared that we will pass out. Sorry for a bit of a long answer for you.
@@Stephanie-mu3qy I have 26% lung function and can do all of these tests. You can too and no you won't pass out. Your message is good evidence that 30% of these tests is mental and that good coaching is paramount to get a good performance out of patients. Good coaching will get air out of patients' lungs that they didn't know they had and get them to use muscles for breathing they didn't know they had either.
I'm not scared, I just feel anxious when I dont know what to expect with what will happen for a test. But I'm on the autism spectrum and such anxiety is common when we dont know what is going to happen. 🤷♀️ so I'm educating myself on what the test is like.
Brazzers.
Your annoying lady 😂
