Breathe Easy with Harper Health: The Significance of Lung Function Screening in Concierge Medicine

Welcome to the Harper Health blog, where we aim to educate and empower our patients about their health. Today, we are focusing on a service that is incredibly important, yet often overlooked: Lung Function Screening.

What is Lung Function Screening?

Lung function tests, also known as pulmonary function tests (PFTs), are non-invasive tests that measure how well the lungs work. These tests determine how much air your lungs can hold, how quickly you can move air in and out of your lungs, and how well your lungs take in oxygen and remove carbon dioxide. These tests can help diagnose a range of lung disorders and guide treatment plans.

Why is Lung Function Screening Important?

Regular lung function screening can detect problems with your lungs before you even start to feel symptoms. This is beneficial because it allows you to start treatment early, which can prevent your lung disease from becoming serious.

In the same way that you perform routine maintenance on your car even when it appears to be running smoothly, regular lung function screenings can help spot issues before they become problematic, allowing for preventative measures to be taken and treatment plans to be adjusted as needed.
