Any of you have tips on breathing test for medical checkup?

I have done it last year and passed after like 20+ attempts

I have to do another one soon and feels very anxious about it

Just one last obstacle before offshore life

I have just done my today. the 5th attempt only succeeded. just as usual. take a deep breath, hold and like "cough" into the mouth holder.

I don't get how to do it properly, my previous attempts I do it with all I had.

Then I kinda gave up on the last one but to my surprise I succeeded instead.

I hope I can replicate that unintentional technique again

The trick the nurse taught me is when you exhale. When you exhale air blow out as hard you can until you feel all the air is out of your lungs and chest depressed prolonging your exhale.

20 times only passed? That's a record.
Do regular exercise, don't use air cond for too long period of time(too long means > 4 hours daily).
Drink less chemical coffee, junk foods from chain restaurants.
5 times still way too much, proper is twice(to verify first blow are correct)

I'm doing this blow test every year and never go beyond 2 times.

Thanks for the advice guys, I've done it today three times all pass. Perhaps because I've stopped smoking since last year.
