Hi
It would depend on your age, height and gender.
Open the link and scroll down to page 22/23 for predicted normal values.

Thanks stone-uk
Had a look for my height 5ft and age 67 readings are fvc 2.18 don’t know what that is and fev 1.80 so as far as I can see not to bad on 1.34
Hi
If the numbers relate to FEV1 then,
1.34 divided by 1.80 multiplied by 100 = 74%
Which puts you at mild.
Ok thank you very much x
My lung function is mid 70's too and I have been told I am mild. x
There are some great replies to your question already.
Many of the folk who post here are far more knowledgeable than a gp., so ask away and read as much as you can.
