I was looking to see if there was any info on here about peak flow home testing but the CPET pages just seemed to pop up.
I borrowed someones piko-1 device the other day and was stunned to see i can't blow properly!
I can't remember the readings yesterday but i was in the amber zone.
This morning i was also in the amber zone with readings like:
FEV: 1.41
PEF: 266
But just done it now when i'm really exhausted and i'm stuck in the red zone with very low readings.
FEV: 0.62
PEF: 100
FEV: 0.49
PEF: 85
FEV: 0.25
PEF: 62
I can't try anymore but the machine is constantly giving me the exclamation marks telling me i've either got a cough or doing it wrong but i don't have the strength to blow any harder.
I've asked to borrow the device so i can try it over the next 7 days.
Has anyone else got one of these devices? Theyre usually used to manage asthma and COPD.
