You mean a pulmonary function test?

The tests are see how well your lungs are doing.

I would call the doctor and ask. search on webmd or mayoclinic.com

Hey are you talking about the H-Pylori? If so mine came back positive. I had to nexium and two different antiboitics. Very strong stuff for 14 days and then I had wait 14 more days and have it retest. I felt like I was swimming with pills. This can cause ulcers because it is bacteria in your stomach, etc.

This tests for a bacteria (Helicobacter pylori) fround in the stomach. I have to take 14 days of pills twice a day and then be retested.
