Close Anonymous Unfriend Friend Requested Friend Load More Close Destination Page Area Group Destination Content Title Title Article Type Copy comments Well I had posted a question a while ago about my spirometry results. The test I took 2 years ago came back with a FEV1 of 71, and the test I took 2 weeks ago came back with a FEV1 of 90!! I saw the doctor today and asked her how could this big an increase in my FEV1 happen and which test was right. Was I mild or moderate. Even tho I've only had just this type of test she said you don't go just by spirometry, She says I am moderate not mild.That makes no sense since that's the only test I've ever had so I'm still in the dark. She said I have it in the small airways. I think I may get a second opinion. Her answers don't make sense to me. Any advice or feedback would be really, really appreciated. By the way, Happy 4th of July to everyone!
