I’ve gone around and around with my pulmonologist for over a year, with them being wishy washy about whether I might have COPD or asthma. Can anyone give me any insight? Here are the main numbers from my latest PFT. My new doc thinks it’s asthma, but I never wheeze or have chest tightness, and don’t respond to albuterol.
FVC (pre) 5.09L / 5.02L reference
FVC (post) 5.27L / 5.02L reference (4% change)
FEV1 (pre) 3.94L / 4.03L reference
FEV1 (post) 4.09L / 4.03L reference (4% change)
FEV1/FVC (pre) 77% / 80% reference
FEV1/FVC (pre) 78% / 80% reference
There are more numbers on my chart but not sure what else would be helpful. Let me know and I can include them if needed.
