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 .

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.
