Asthma test

Just hoping someone can help me. I’ve just taken DS8 to see the asthma nurse today after a suspected attack a couple of weeks ago (gp was seen the next day and referred to asthma nurse).

DS blew into a machine and gave a reading of 51, indicated elevated levels and mild asthma, compared to a normal reading of 35.

I was trying to keep DS2 under control at the time so didn’t take everything in.

Can someone please tell me what test this is and elevated levels of what? I’ve tried looking online but can’t find test numbers that correlate.

thank you

Sounds like FeNo test. Sorry, I'd explain but got to run, now. Standard asthma test, all surgeries should have a FeNo monitor now.

It’s Feno. Raised nitrous oxide and sufficient to diagnose asthma.
