Yes; I was told by one of the chest specialist's staff, that
the breathing test I'm to have is to give the medics the necessary
information on what state my lungs are in.
And, as you may have seen in my earlier f/up, the x-rays I had
Monday seem to be clear, and I may only have an infection of the
lungs/airways from breathing in the local pollen-drenched atmosphere .
But I'm going to phone the pulmonary doctor's place today and ask if
an earlier appointment might be a good idea.
