I am asthmatic and today at the doctors had to take a peak flow meter (lung capacity) test. It came out really low every time I tried, at around 270, whereas for my height and weight it should be 530 (and not much less being asthmatic). Does anyone know why this would be so low? I do have a viral infection a bit like a very bad cold at the moment but the doctor didn't think it would have much sway over the results, and besides, I can never run very far without my lungs hurting or getting wheezy. Is there any way I can improve my lung capacity?
I have an appointment in the asthma clinic soon but I'm just checking on here incase there is something I forget to ask there :) (link)

one way to check your real lung capacity is by before you do the test is to breath out as long as you can take a quick breath in then breathe out again for same amount of time till you cant and breathe in deep this time (hyper ventilate)
I am a swimmer so swimming does help if you have a friend over or 2 or more play some marco polo and try and get away at the last minuet by sneaking away under water or just play the how long can you hold you breathe under water game?
bring a stop watch and after time you'll see after time your lung capacity has gone up
