Hey Guys thanks for your replies.

I am not too sure if there was a problem with the CAA Spirometry Machine as i rebooked and did the test again in dublin (2 weeks after initial test) and pretty much got the same result.

I think your right gingernut maybe i did have a mild form of asthma hidden away. And my respiratory specialist said i could have goen through my whole life not knowing i had asthma if i didnt try and get this class 1 medical.

Since then i have joined a gym and am going at least 4 times a week using the treadmill and the row machine. Just trying to improve my fitness level.

Just another observation i have been taking my inhaler twice a day morning and night but after 2 full weeks now there still is not any mayor increase in my peak flow result. I am still getting an average score of 600.

Hey ulsterflyer I booked my medical after my last ATPL Exam. I know i should have got the medical first but stupid me just assumed i would have no problem with it as i had my eyes and ears tested previously before and they were fine.
All you have to do is give them a ring and choose a date that suits you. Here is the link http://www.caa.co.uk/default.aspx?catid=49

Thanks again guys i will keep up the gym, inhaler and the powerbreathe until the test date and hopefully that will be good enough to get my Med Cert.
