Breathing test results?

Hi everyone, I was just curious if anyone could help me understand how my breathing test actually went, I had one yesterday and they kept giving out to me because I couldn't exhale for long enough- apparently you're meant to be able to exhale for six seconds full force where as I exhale for two! I've had asthma since I was small along with a persistant dry cough, any ideas?

Thanks for replying! The only problem is I don't think I'll see my doc until the first week of February..

Fax his office and ask them to send the test results. You don't need an appointment for that.
