Good luck Verity. Try not to worry too much. Me and you are just starting to learn. These lovely people on here will help with advice. Good luck. BRIAN
Not too bad (i think) got fev1 70% so i think thats mild isn’t it? The nurse said it’s mostly the asthma component & if i hadn’t got that, then i wouldn’t have known i had the emphysema.
She has changed my inhalers & got 4wk review, if no better then she will refer me to pulmonologist.
Down 5%, but nothing to worry about. I still feel like I usually do. Just means I'm back into the mild zone. I'll keep taking the medicine. And singing.
Just discovered on comparing this year's results with last year's, that the nurse accidentally put my age as 33 rather than 64, making my performance look much worse than it actually is. In fact, my lung age has improved from 80 years last year to 63 years this year. So I'm well chuffed.
