On Thursday, April 14th the YMCA will be having a pulmonary function test. Free of cost. What is a PFS? Pulmonary function screening evaluates and measures how much air and how easily the air moves in and out of your lungs. The results of your pulmonary function screening test will help determine if one has any potential problems with his/her lungs which may be caused by exposure to allergens or irritants, such as chemicals, smoke, ragweed, and/or even animals. These results will aid one's medical doctor diagnose a lung disease such as asthma, emphysema, or pulmonary fibrosis. These tests may detect a respiratory defect at an early stage. These tests do not test for lung fitness or exercise tolerance.
