Lung function tests: help interpreting what it means

2 Replies

I don't really know what my tests mean, apart from being pretty good overall.

This was on Seretide (ICS + LABA) , at a dose that totally suppressed my ACTH and adrenals, but it has been a wonderful medicine for my asthma. I have been reducing the dose a lot since the lung test.

FEV1 - 114%

FEV1/FVC 91%

TLCO 9.92 (135%)

FeNO - 20 ppb

They mean it is time to party😁I’m not an expert by any means but they look excellent to me. It looks (to me) as though your airways are clear at the moment with no inflammation.

You are normal 😂😂

It goes without saying keep taking the meds.

Long may it last!

Happy for you.
