Recovery & hospital stay
- Recovery is immediate. Any induced asthma symptoms are promptly treated with a rescue inhaler at the test facility.
- Normal activities can typically be resumed right after the test once breathing has returned to baseline.
- Follow the pulmonologist's specific instructions regarding when to restart any regular medications that were paused for the test.
