I have just had a very low fev1 reading on my spirometry and the consultant reported i had obstructive spirometry and recommended Tostair inhaler. But i had a rrally bad cold and cough virus at the time and wondered if that might have caused the low reqding as ai dont really have any symptoms of copd apart from slight shortness of breath if i walk up a hill or lots of stairs. Does anybody out there know?

Hello sarahlovedaypalmer . Yes. In my very humble opinion. My consultant would postpone my spiro if I have a cold because we both know that would bring the numbers down. xx
