Good breathing is at the heart of good health. When asthma or shortness of breath appears, a person might be sent for pulmonary function tests. Temple Health test labs are helping people breathe better.
Good breathing is at the heart of good health.Arlene Dunlap of Piscataway, N.J. knows those tests well.Now 10 years into her battle with sarcoidosis, she values every breath."My first primary doctor was like, 'you just need to exercise,'" Arlene says, adding, "He never sent me for tests or anything."
And after the diagnosis, Dunlap was undertreated, largely just given steroids, till a lung collapsed in 2020, and she went to the ER. She went from North Jersey to Temple Health for a transplant evaluation, starting with pulmonary function testing."The main components are spirometry, diffusion and lung volume testing," Evans says.
"It's not about failure. We want to see how your numbers are and how the doctor can treat you," she says. "We don't want you to fail."
