Lung Health Checklist

The Lung Health Checklist is a simple yet effective tool designed to assess your lung function and identify potential respiratory issues early. This quick and easy questionnaire evaluates symptoms such as breathlessness, persistent cough, fatigue, and a history of smoking or exposure to pollutants. By answering a few key questions, individuals can determine whether they need further lung function testing or medical consultation.

Lung diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), lung cancer, and interstitial lung disease often develop silently, with symptoms appearing gradually over time. Many people dismiss early warning signs like mild shortness of breath or a lingering cough, assuming they are part of ageing or a temporary issue. A delayed diagnosis can mean you lose valuable time for early intervention and treatment. The Lung Health Checklist helps detect these early indicators and warning signs, prompting individuals to seek medical attention before conditions worsen.

After you complete the Lung Health Checklist, you will receive a summary of your results on the screen and emailed to you directly. If your results suggest no significant concerns, you are encouraged to maintain healthy lifestyle habits, such as regular exercise and avoiding smoking or pollutants. If symptoms suggest possible lung issues, the next step is to consult your GP for further evaluation. A lung function test, such as spirometry or gas diffusion testing, may be recommended. If your results indicate serious lung health concerns, you should see your doctor as soon as possible for further assessment. Your doctor may refer you to a respiratory specialist for advanced diagnostic testing and tailored treatment.

Early detection is key to preventing and managing lung disease effectively. Taking the Lung Health Checklist is a proactive step towards better respiratory health and long-term well-being. If you have concerns about your lung function, don’t wait—check your lung health today!
