I found this very interesting, which im sure would give you trouble if using a wheezometer compared to other devices such as a spirometer.
Did you know that just because you have a wheeze does not mean you have asthma!
Smoking and infections as innocuous as a cold or as virulent as pneumonia can clog airways with mucus and cause wheezing in people without a history of asthma. The excess production of mucus from chronic bronchitis also constricts airways and produces a nasty wheeze (along with shortness of breath and rapid breathing). And wheezing is also a symptom of emphysema.
So there are many different conditions that can cause wheezing, so if an asthmatic has other conditions that also cause wheezing how is the wheezometer going to determin if the wheeze is from asthma or another condition?
Maybe the old spirometer is the better option after all??
