Thanks for the video, I'm about to take one in a few weeks.

[@grantwalter2243]

[@Andre-eu5xd]

[@grantwalter2243]

Pure Glee good luck!! Hope you do well!!

[@LILN1CK1E]

I have to do this as well, in order to enlist as well..

[@dariodiaz5379]

I’m just here because I want to serve in the military and I want to prove to them I do not have asthma. The process seems simple

[@Benjamin_Bratten]

Had to undergo this exact test as part of the Air Force pilot medical.

[@amandashelton1162]

My doctor requested a lung specialist today. I've been having asthma problems. I already know it's bad but I need more assistance. I will figure out how to treat it better. I more likely will feel better when I get the right treatment. I was diagnosed with two types of asthma when I was nine years old. I took a two hour test and the doctor said it was bad but they could help me feel better. I had a nebulizer and inhaler with pills to help with the allergies causing some asthma attacks. I was able to be free from the treatments after I turned 20. Sadly I started getting sick when I turned 31. The stupid asthma never went away it ended up coming back worse. It's not getting better on it's own so I am seeking help. I also have seizures that can be caused by lack of oxygen. It more likely will help me deal with my seizures too. I am autistic so the test is going to be scary for me but I have great healthcare workers to help me with my anxiety. They are always reminding me to breath because I hold my breath too long when anxious. It's not good to hold your breath.

[@pjb08063]

Music is too loud.

[@rae0521]

And besides, why do you think adding "music" to an informative video improves it? It most certainly does NOT for me. This is not a hyped up commercial, you know. It's supposed to be taken seriously.

[@charlymelancon7775]

I wanna join the army and I’ve had asthma as a kid. I’ve used an inhaler once Never had treatments after 13 years old I may have exercise induced asthma. I’m just hoping I can still join. if I can’t, Atleast I tried. It’s better to be honest and save yourself from an medical accident or dishonorable discharge for lying.

[@FBI-my9cp]

I'm doing this tomorrow

[@Jennie2Spliffs]

I just did this today it wasn’t to bad (I have asthma) it DID NOT hurt I got dizzy but that was about it wrist part is probably the nose plug.

[@phonkaddict2119]

Did the test say you had asthma ? Or did you pass it with asthma ?

[@punzzir]

im getting this tomorrrow eeeeeeeeeeeee

[@grantmitchell9034]

How did it go

[@leanneluna6526]

I have a PFT scheduled on May 2nd to see what's going on. I spent Easter in the hospital with shortness of breath.

[@Reg121]

How did yours go? Was it easy or hard to do? I have mine on the 16th.

[@leanneluna6526]

@@Reg121 , it wasn't as hard or scary as I thought it would be. You do a series of quick breaths and some deep breaths. I then had a nebulizer treatment and did the test again. The whole thing took about 40 minutes.

[@EastsideLegend1]

leanne Luna did they diagnose you with anything after the test? Thanks!

[@jazglee5424]

Hi yes do you have any updates currently experiencing really bad shortness of breathe

I can’t believe I have to get this test done for a job as a call center rep. Such an invasive job hiring.

[@maytag2588]

Look for another job then!

[@BabzBoop]

That’s crazy !!!!!

[@Karii34]

Can someone answer this??? Do you have to get an allergy test too?

[@williambrown6890]

You don't HAVE to get an allergy test, but can be useful in determining if you have an uncontrolled allergy that is contributing to your shortness of breath.

[@Jennie2Spliffs]

Karina Barrera no

[@arshiapanigrahi3798]

I have to get this test done in 5 days

[@chrissimmer1273]

What are the legal requirements to be able to perform this test? I'm an x-ray tech and my clinic is trying to force me to perform these.

How was it

[@valriegler151]

Hi.I was exposed to breathing in high amounts of ammonia for powerlifting. This caused shortness of breath and breathing issues for two months. My breath eventually went back to normal and my lungs feel fine now. I was just wondering if the ammonia I was exposed to caused long term lung damage?

[@valriegler151]

The Great Unwashed really? that’s not good

[@phonkaddict2119]

Wait how were you exposed to ammonia and what exactly is that ? What type of breathing symptoms did you have ?

Has anyone with mild breathing problems been able to pass this ? Is it a very strict test like if you have even a slight breathing problems you would fail the test ?

[@zoiemeininger3243]

I’m getting this done today cause i have a very high possibility that I have asthma

"Depending on... ya know.. what kind of person you are..." He hesitated to say male or female. Gender is becoming the elephant in the room that we wouldn't acknowledge.

[@ohnoheb]

Francis Elliot2 he wasn’t even talking about gender though

[@delakdee1400]

@@ohnoheb There is no doubt that gender is the most important predictor of pulmonary function. Other predictors, age and height may be a confounding factor. As a medical professional I know what I expect to hear. He did mention age and height, but somehow avoided gender. "the kind of person you are" is not a part of the reference values I've been taught my whole life.

[@paulkamau1806]

I'm not sure but ,if anyone else wants to uncover diseases in lungs try Mackorny Light Breathing Blueprint (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now )? It is an awesome one of a kind guide for getting rid of lung disease without the normal expense. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my colleague got excellent results with it.

I have asthma im 17 rn but I want to enlist for the marines , I still get inhalers but I barely use them unless my lungs flare up due to allergies or like cold weather weirdly

[@jeyrelluna5807]

I’m 18 years old and same here, I want to enlist in the Air Force

[@phonkaddict2119]

I feel you bros , I’m not sure if I have asthma or not rn but I had it as a kid . If you truly can go without a inhaler then it’s up to you . If it’s on your medical record then they will find out possibly meaning permanent disqualification. If it’s not on medical records that you don’t use inhalers or have asthma after 13 then you are good .

[@phonkaddict2119]

You could lie but they could find out and you might get kicked out with fraudulent enlistment

[@floridafam8365]

No way someone with asthma would've been able to endure what my husband did in war. You are in bad weather and elements. Hope you've thought of that.
