Is my cough, sinus congestion, or breathing difficulty caused by an allergy, an airway problem, or a structural sinus issue?
Best for
Anyone with chronic cough, breathing difficulty, seasonal allergies, or recurrent sinusitis lasting more than a few weeks.
Time at centre: ~40 minPreparation: None requiredReport: 24–48 hrs (CT longer)Booking: Appointment-basedCollection: Blood: Home* · Rest: Centre
What's included
Allergy IgE Panel — Screens for common inhalant and food allergens
PFT (Spirometry) — Lung function and airway capacity
CT Paranasal Sinuses — Structural imaging of the sinuses
What normal doesn't rule out
a specific asthma diagnosis (needs bronchodilator response testing) or an infection — if fever/purulent discharge is present, see F18 (Flu & Respiratory) or a physician first.
Not included
CBC / infection markers (see F18)
Bronchodilator response testing
Skin prick allergy testing
Not the right fit if
you have fever, chest pain, or acute breathlessness — that needs urgent clinical evaluation, not a scheduled screening visit.
Preparation
Preparation: Avoid antihistamines for 3–5 days before the allergy panel if possible, as they can affect results — confirmed at booking. No prep for PFT or CT. || Collection & eligibility: Home service coversblood collection only. PFT and CT require a centre visit. Appointment-based — call ahead.
