No matter whether it is the first love or a breakup, heart always takes the credit. When people fall in love, they exchange their hearts and when the love does not work, heart breaks. In this process of exchanging and patching of hearts, we forget to look into our lungs. When heartbreak happens, we feel pain. But, what if your lungs stop working? Yes, it can happen with all. The lungs may not stop working completely, but can develop several types of issues with the passage of time. And then you will find breathing next to impossible. As per lung function test experts in Kolkata, breathing issue or asthma mainly affects people during season change.

 The time when one season goes away and another enters, is very delicate. All the allergy trigging items become extremely active and the temperature also fluctuates severely. People who have allergy issues suffer extremely in such situation. First of all, they get confused about how to react. So, when they feel hot, they switch on fan or AC and drink cold water. And mainly in the night time, they use blankets to stay protected from cool breeze. As a result the change of getting affected by viral fever and cold becomes high. And if you catch cold and cough, in no time asthma would make you it’s pray.

With the global increase of lung diseases such as asthma, severe bronchitis and emphysema, lung function tests are becoming a bigger concern for many people.

Spirometry (measuring lung function) is the most well know pulmonary function testand vital to diagnose COPD. Some of the diseases which can be detected are:

1. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) – main term used to describe lung diseases such as asthma, emphysema, chronic bronchitis etc.

2. Asthma – common and long-term lung disease characterised by coughing, shortness of breath or wheezing.

3. Chronic bronchitis – bronchial tubes become inflamed and produce an excessive amount of mucus.

4. Emphysema – long-term progressive disease where alveoli in the lungs become inflamed causing shortness of breath.

5. Cystic fibrosis – genetic lung disease characterised by frequent lung infections and coughing up mucus as a result of this.

6. Pulmonary fibrosis - interstitial lungdiseases resulting in the scarring of the lungs.

Doing the test itself is quiet simple and usually involves the patient blowing as hard as possible into a tube which is attached to a spirometer, the main piece of medical equipment used for the test. The results of this lung function test will indicate how healthy the patient’s lungs are.

Pulmonary function monitoring is however, becoming just as simple as taking blood pressure and not necessarily something you have to go to the hospital for anymore. With advances in the field, the big clunky machines of the past have been transformed to, smaller, portable medical devices that are simple to use and have great technological features.

One example of this is Shenzhen Mellow Hope’s Smart Spirometer which can be used in clinics and homes alike. Not only can you connect this device with your smart phone, it also has a cloud based mobile app platform, allowing patients the possibility of self-monitoring and, with the community forum, patients are capable of keeping track of their health with ease while keeping relevant parties informed.

With pulmonary function monitoring in the palm of our hands, lung diseases can now be managed with more precision than ever before.
