Thanks Whit, doing all I can to keep well.

80% is counted as virtually normal so do your best not to get any worse.

Hi Puff, I was told the normal % put out by NICE is 85% ?

That's what I mean. You're not far off normal so hopefully you'll stay the same. :)

Hi, I was diagnosed 4 years ago, Bullous Emphysema classed as very mild with a FEV1 of 81%, my right lung is very bad at the top and side and some on the left lung. I stopped smoking when I was diagnosed, im on no medication and I'm doing alright. Stop SMOKING asap to get the full life rewards, it was a wake up call for me, a call which I take very serious.
