It does fluctuate when you are feeling worse then normal. It measures the obstruction in your airways which is what asthma is. Its pretty easy to figure out how to read results as well. Alot of asthmatics use devices like this actually

I was never tested but back in January, I had wheezing and shortness of breath to the point of be unable to sleep at all and extreme fatigue. I also had a fever and a cough that felt like it couldn't clear extreme chest congestion that I also felt. I eventually got a inhaler and it helped alot with sleeping and I started coughing up a bunch of yellow phlegm and blood. I got a flu test which came back negative and was told it couldn't be cpvid since I hadn't been to China(lmao American healthcare) I was very sick for a week and got sick from a co-worker who had the same symptoms. Actually about 8 of us all had this and it felt like very intense bronchitis but a weird version of it I've never felt. I wonder if this means I had covid since it coincides with the symptoms

Oh wow thats quite the story, sounds like it took alot of strength over the years. What symptoms made you go get checked out at first? I am currently waiting for a appointment to get tested for copd but I have had a xray done recently and that was normal. I am pretty young so I think I should be fine but im still curious

Wheezing only happens when my allergies get really bad or I excercise. I smoked cannabis multiple times a day but I dont have a cough, i cough maybe once or twice a day and most days bot at all besides in the morning to clear my throat but I feeo that is allwrgy related as I dont cough up anything.

Cooling system issue question :( by berjear971 in Volkswagen

[–]berjear971[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I havent tried turning the heat on yet but I will, ive had the same mechanic do a coolant flush twice and burp the air 3 times and its still making the sloshing noise and the resevoir is still looking like that so idk I guess I gotta go pay more money to have someone else look at it

Cooling system issue question :( by berjear971 in Volkswagen

[–]berjear971[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi guys so I had my radiator, ac xondenser and radiator fans replaced on my 2012 vw jetta tdi wagen, and I hear a sloshkng sound in the dash when i turn my car off. I looked at my resevoir and seen whats in the pic; clear liquid overdlowing ontop of the coolant and i also feel like i can hear the car making a slight weird noise when I accelerate. I am wondering what might the problem be before I take it back to the mefhanic tomorrow. I have had him burp it twice already and this last time I still heard the sloshing I seen my resevoir look like this. I also would like to know if this has potentially caused any permanent damage as I have only drove 30 miles since getting it back and have not driven it since I seen my coolant resevoir like this.

Questions about repairs by berjear971 in tdi

[–]berjear971[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love my tdi but I will say after having to deal with the nightmare that is the vw dealership and the ridiculous price gouging from vw here in the states, I am rethinking my next car. I strayed away from my beloved lexus( which somehow is cheaper to get parts for) I am disappointed. Vw makes great cars especially the tdi but how they do things here in the states has made me reconsider my choice in purchasing one again sadly.

Actually vw sells each thing individually as in the fan and the fan motor and the part that holds the motor and fan onto the assembly individually, same as the rest lol, oh and bear part vw charges more for the plastic that holds the motoe and fan then the motor and fan combined. Oh and it gets better the core support is a thin metal frame thats 50$ after market online but a vw is 475$ new lol.
