What Are The Findings From The Lung Function Test?
Hello there, I have recently done a Lung function test. The test results came back and confirmed that baseline spirometry volumes and flows are within normal limits. No evidence of nonspecific bronchial hyperresponsiveness to Methacholine. At the time i had not taken my Seretide for 3 days. Would the Seretide have been still in my system at the time of testing?

Hi, Thanks for your query.
Congratulations...asthma is almost ruled out in your case as negative methacholine challenge test in setting of normal spirometry rules out asthma. As per the guidelines seretide should be stopped 12-24 hours before the test...
Best wishes
