Hi Alice. Does this mean your lungs have improved over the last year? I remember you asking about it when your FEV1 was 50%. The same criteria apply now as they did then. Check out the replies you got last time: healthunlocked.com/blf/post...

My lung function is the same as yours. I know it’s not as bad as some but I’m 76 and still working and smoking. Not near as good as I was 5 years ago when I accidentally inhaled ultra fine wood dust and triggered this COPD. I think It means our lungs have a capacity of 56% of what they could have. That may be wrong so if so could someone please let us know! Hope you are feeling well.

It ain't as bad as mine, which is 30%, that's for sure. From where I'm standing, 56% looks wonderful :)
