What Are The Precautions To Be Followed Before Lung Function Tests?
I battled pneumonia in both lungs past 2 months; now have bronchitis. Dr plans to do lung function tests when I get better. Construction has started where I work; they ll be tearing down concrete walls to expand our store. They said there will be a lot of dust. Also, I am 64 yr old heart patient. Thinking maybe I should take vacation or maybe family medical leave for few weeks.
