I was sent to the ER after taking Level 4 of the Methacholine challange

Since there are only 5 levels  in the methacholine challange, does it matter wich one you do worse in?

Sorry you had such a bad test.  I assume that your test was positive.  Sorry about that too, but it is better to know.  Now you can start treatment.

I don't think it matters what level you trigger at, it is a positive test if you trigger at any level.  If you make it through all 5 levels without triggering then it is a negative test.

I pray that you recover well.  Come back to ask any question you may have.

No...the level at which you react to methacholine does not generally correlate with severity of asthma
