the only way I can do this on a stationary bike built for wheelchair-bound COPD ‘ers!!!!
That would have been a good question for your doctor. Call his office and ask the question so you will be better aware of what is about to happen. They can do a test that is medically induced but you may not want to do that.
It's my pleasure, Barbara - I enjoy the fact that we are colleagues here on COPD.net!

THE CORRECT DATE OF PFT!!!!!!
Hi hite, did you ever figure this out? While I am not a medical expert, I believe that there is a medication they can give you which leads your body to work as though you are exercising. They can test your heart and lung function in that way. This is a common method of testing. Does your pulmonologist know that you do not walk? Don't be afraid to ask him about the details! He can see and I hat I am in a wheelchair 🦽.
I will ask Him about that there is a medication they can give you which leads your body to work as though you are exercising.I am Y! Mailing The Form: “ Going For PFT On FEBRUARY 24, 2023 —- How Do You a STRESS TEST From a WHEELCHAIR 🦽!?

I expected more phlegm with SEVERE / Stage lll COPD, But lucky 🍀 I guess It sounds like it didn't go too badly, then, all things considered! I am glad you seem to be feeling good about it. 😀 Did they make any changes to your meds or recommendations? Keep taking good care of yourself! -Melissa, copd.net team
