FEV1 rapid decline
I bought one of these portable spirometers which measures FEV1 and shows results on digital display. The results vary but the best indicates a 10% decline on figure from physician’s PFT 9 months ago. Definitely using the device correctly. Anyone tried these machines? I’m hoping the figures are inaccurate

Emphysema on Lung Health Scan
I have mild emphysema FVC/FEV1 ratio 65% FVC % of normal 119% FEV1% of normal 104% I recently had a lung health check for cancer ( negative ) but there was no mention of emphysema on my letter --- I asked my doctor this morning & he said it probably didn't show up because your lung damage is mild

Update on me.
So it's been a while since I posted here. Still waiting to see a pulmonologist. That will be happening in June provided there's no cancellations or delays because of industrial action. Had spirometry done both FEV1 and FVC were 91. Not indicative of airway obstruction. Relieving and frustrating at

Spirometry non-obstructive, CT shows scarring but no fibrosis/legions/bronchiectasis so what’s wrong???
Hi guys, Still looking for advice! Last September I had pneumonia. It was severe, and I was hospitalised for a week. It took five months and six courses of antibiotics to shift it. X rays showed ‘chronic atelectasis’ in right base. I’ve been sent for CT and spirometry, and gone through the results

COPD Annual Assessment
Just attended my GP for an annual COPD assessment and been advised that they no longer conduct lung function tests (Spirometry) due to NHS advice , infection risks & COVID. According to the Nurse Practicioner this had been the case for nearly three years. When I indicated that I found the Spirometry

Digital peakflow recommendations?
Hi all, I hope you've all been keeping as well as possible particularly with the change in weather. So I've been looking at buying a new pf and have discovered I'm living in the dark ages with my pf from gp for decades. Omg there are digital ones that document readings automatically and your spirometry

getting better but anxiety over future
Hi, I was diagnosed with asthma last September after being in hospital for ten days with a bad exacerbation. All out of the blue. I was on oxygen for most of it and coughing up thick green stuff after a chest infection. Could hardly breathe and almost in ICU. After recovering from that I picked up more

Broncholidator Reversibility Test
Hi, I posted a few days ago about my team wanting to do a broncholidator reversibility test and FeNO before they put me forward for biologics. I wasn't going to do the test, then decided to do it, incase it did show reversibility to save time waiting for a referral to Wynthenshawe as my current hospital

PFT stats question
According to my PFT
test
, my
FEV1
/
FVC
is decreased at 64%. My Dr. said this is mild COPD but from what I have read it indicates moderate COPD. Does anyone know if the criteria will change due to our age and that is why it might be considered mild?

spiriva
hi, have others found that Spiriva has helped to stop exacerbations from colds? I've had three colds since September: the first put me in hospital for 12 days. The second two have led to oral steroids at home (with quick improvement). This has been a nasty introduction to lung problems. I don't get

working out fev1 as a percentage
Hi I've bought an asthma-1 Vitalograph FEV1 to monitor my asthma between appointments as I don't think peak flow really shows my asthma up very well. When I blow into it it just shows a number eg 3.87 , not a percentage as it doesn't measure FVC and there's no instructions in with it other than a diagram
