I think it best you speak to your Gp. They could explain the result and clarify them. They would also get the correct medication prescribed .

Might you have Asthma too ? I have Bronchiectasis and Asthma .. they're not the same

could you have asthma and some other lung issues have asthma and bronchiecstasis, both diagnosed in 2012, and both with different symptoms. I would go and see your gp for clarification, and maybe the correct medication.

I agree, speak to your consultant/whoever requested the spirometry for clarification. There can be overlaps in the myriad of diseases/disorders the lungs fall victim to! E.g. I had an excellent consultation yesterday , the dr explained clearly why my asthma is now only on my notes as 'background childhood asthma ' , why the bronchiectasis seems to appear and disappear depending on the radiologist's interpretation etc etc. It made perfect sense then but I've had a sleep since! 😂 What I'm trying to say is conditions can overlie each other but what's important is getting the appropriate and correct treatment that suits you.
