How do you prepare for a spirometry test?

Follow your doctor’s instructions about whether you should avoid use of inhaled breathing medications or other medications before the test. Other preparations include the following:

  • Wear loose clothing that won’t interfere with your ability to take a deep breath.
  • Avoid eating a large meal before your test, so it will be easier to breathe.
