tests needed to get a waiver for previous asthma?

[1son]

What tests would show that my son's lungs function properly, so that he could expect a waiver? Is the spirometry test the test he should have to determine if his lungs are 'fit' enough? Any other suggestions to help him get a waiver for this? He has not had any problems for about 4 years.

Thank you for your info!

It depends on what is requested by the remedial authorities. Most times this includes a pulmonary function test with methacholine challenge. I wouldn't necessarily try to "get ahead of the game" by having these tests done prior to the request.

We will wait, and pray for the best.

Thank you.

I had a similar situation, though in reality every case is different. I was on meds up until age 15, and did not have any attacks on my history. USMA paid for me to take a Methacholine Challenge Test to give them better proof on whether to grant or deny me a waiver. I passed the test and USMA did grant me the asthma waiver.
