Spirometry results: what should I look for?
in Health ·
Hey, hope you guys don't mind me bumping this thread up a bit.
I was wondering if anyone could give me a realistic estimate of how bad my results might look on this test. Here’s the thing: I can’t actually run. Honestly, even walking fast is a struggle because I start getting winded immediately—it feels like I just can't catch enough air, if that makes sense 😁. On top of that, I’ve had several episodes where I get dizzy and feel like I’m suffocating, especially when I'm in tight spaces or when it gets hot outside.
Just for context, I have triple scoliosis, and my doctor mentioned there's a chance my spine might be putting pressure on my lungs. Depending on how that plays out, I might be moved up the list for surgery.
