So I’ve had my spirometry today I don’t have the results but the lady running through my test did show me at the end. From memory the fev was 106% (how is this even possible?) and the score was 4 point something can’t remember exactly. The fvc (I think) was 96% and the peak flow was also 96% and if I remember correctly the reading was high 700’s then 800’s after inhaler.
Can someone interpret this a little for me? This is all a foreign language!
Hi the FEV1 is your lung function which is the most important figure. If it is less than 80% then you are considered to have lung disease. Yours at 106% is fantastic so well done. You haven't got copd.
The 100% figure is the average persons without lung disease. People who sing or are very fit etc. can have over 100% as their lung function like you do. I hope this clarifies it a bit, x
If you have larger lungs than average it's clearly possible to get a higher than average blow volume (fev).
If you'd like an informed answer ask for a copy of the results and come back ideally with a pic of it.
