At Sierra Allergy Asthma and Sinus Center, we use advanced diagnostic tools to confirm asthma. These include spirometry to measure lung function, peak flow monitoring, and sometimes methacholine challenge tests for more detailed evaluation. We also assess your symptoms, triggers, and medical history to ensure an accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment plan.
Spirometry is a painless, non-invasive test that measures how much air you can exhale and how quickly. It helps us assess lung function and detect narrowing of the airways, a key indicator of asthma.
Yes. Since many asthma cases are triggered by allergies, we often perform allergy testing (skin prick or blood tests) to identify environmental or seasonal allergens that could be worsening your symptoms.
