Not sure what the question is here?

Hi Inkedup

Sorry,it was a bit cryptic.

I have been having PFTs at the Brompton for several years following referral from the Royal Free. To my disgrace I have never really understand the full significance of the printout. I am particularly interested in the TCLO as mine has suddenly reduced which corresponds with more breathless than usual. I am to see my Specialist on Tuesday and I would like a bit more knowledge.

Hi, didn't know you could get a print out. I hv these tests once a yr and they just told me last yr after a call bk that my lungs are functioning at 85 percent.

Same here. I have one once a year and up till now they have told me that I break the bank.

So my lungs are not affected. You had best ask what your 85% means.
