Hi Toby,

That's a lot you're having to deal with. The 1.33 and 1.48 with the FEV1 and the FVC are volumes in litres, that's what the percentages are measuring. If you need advice about what to ask your doc or consultant or physio, then do call the BLF helpline (click on red balloon top RHS of page for number).

Good luck, jean
