My name is Jeanne Clay from Mount Hope, WV USA and have been dealing with COPD for 9 years per my drs. instruction. I am 73 years old, non-smoker, non-drinker and consider my lifestyle as healthy. So 6 months ago, I had the standard breathing tests and was told that my lungs were "clear". I am confused about this after using the oral steroids for 9 years. Anyone else have something similar happen to them or know of some similar situation?
Any information about this would help me greatly.

Hello, Jeannec01. I know these things are confusing at times. As Redsox stated, it's best to get a more clear diagnosis from a specialist. My gp does do my tests, but rarely explains all the fev numbers and pef graphs. If the word is good, then ride it.
