Spirometry results...?

[DustinS85]

So; turns out it wasn’t anxiety. I do have abnormal results. If you can read this; am I mild, moderate, or severe in my impairment?

Hi you would do much better to post this in the British Lung Foundation site as this one is only for asthma. BLF is for all lung diseases with copd the most common. x

By the looks of it you’re moderate

[Michaela1436 in reply to Michaela1436]

Ps I’m a respiratory and sleep physiologist

[DustinS85 in reply to Michaela1436]

On a scale of 1 - 10 how worried should I be? I got more tests coming.

[Michaela1436 in reply to DustinS85]

I wouldn’t worry as that’ll only make things worse, do they think it’s asthma or copd?

[DustinS85 in reply to Michaela1436]

They want to do a full lung function test before moving to a diagnosis. The paper I got says “COPD Risk: Moderate” but he didn’t diagnose. It’s something the machine spits out.

[Michaela1436 in reply to DustinS85]

If it is copd then moderate is good as they’ve caught it and try treatments before it gets worse. Without the other test results I can’t advise much more than that I’m afraid.

[DustinS85 in reply to Michaela1436]

Understandable.

[DustinS85 in reply to DustinS85]

I’ll let ya know the results. I am 32 and never smoked. That’s a side note.

[DustinS85 in reply to Michaela1436]

Well; he said my PLF didn't show signs of Asthma or COPD, but he said Restrictive Airway and that my lungs constrict as a response to a trigger. I guess I get enough air in and out.
