hi
i was prescribed a peak flow meter from the doctor the other day to record morning and night on a chart for ten days. thing is my reading is not changing from 340. not matter if its morning or night, so i just took it when i felt really bad and this was this afternoon and its still 340. i dont understand. My partner had ago and his was over 600 and then another time his was just under 600 so i know the peak flow meter isnt faulty or anything.
Is this normal?
Also im 24 and 5'5 and on some sites i seen for average peak flow measurements for my age and height and gender are well over 400, my readings along the lines of a 70 year old. Iv never smoked or anything. i dont get that either
can anyone tell me if they have had similar readings please.
thanks
im so worried im going to have a severe asthma attack before i get diagnosed with something, before my next appointment.
