Can a normal lung function test rule out COPD?

Hi. Does normal Lung Function Test rule out COPD?

  1. Hi SaedSak - excellent question.
    You may be aware we cannot provide medical advice or diagnostics over the internet (for your own safety). Based on your inquiry, I thought this article might provide you with some additional insight for your expressed concern: https://copd.net/diagnosis/. It is all about COPD and diagnoses.

    A pulmonary function test (PFT) is but one aspect of diagnostic testing that will enable the physician to provide you with a definitive diagnosis.

    Have you been told you have COPD?

    Wishing you well,
