Following tests my FEV1 showed at 30% pre inhaler and 47% post inhaler. So which of these figures do I provide as FEV1 when asked?

Breathless and really worried............ is this what to expect at moderate stage or should I have inhalors upped
I was diagnosed with COPD 10 days ago after having spirometry test by Nurse at GP surgery. Reading was FEV1 73. I was given inhalors Salbutamol 100mcg 2 puffs 4 times a day and Beclometasone 100mcg 2 pufs twice a day. I will go back and discuss as I was so in shock that I could not think of questions

Recently diagnosed
I attended GP and Nurse last Tuesday for spirometry as they thought I may have Asthma. FEV1 reading was 73. Was told it was moderate COPD and I was too stunned to take it all in. I am going to go back and get more info and advice. I was given Salbutamol and Beclometasone inhalers. I am still feeling

Update - having hard time with taper, doctors
Eight months ago I came down with a cold which turned into one of my worst periods of uncontrolled asthma in years. Things hit a low point at the beginning of May when I was hospitalized for an asthma flare-up. The week after I left the hospital, things were really good and I thought that finally

50 and a man with a canoe
The most concerning thing was whether now I have to hang up the
PVC
disco shorts, and I decided no, they should have been hung up 30 years ago so it was a bit late. It won't pass by uncelebrated as there follows a bit of a do this weekend.

Being negative about being positive
What does it mean to me, truly well to be honest I pondered on is it time to give up
PVC
shorts (frankly that time was 30 years ago but since I didn't heed it then its unlikely now) I guess what I am saying is it is no more significant than that.

Spirometry
Just back from annual review and have mixed feelings. My FEV1 was 34% which suprisingly was slightly better than last year which was a pleasant surprise but the other 2 readings they took FVC and something else were slightly worse so I was told there was little overall change and still categorised as

Wendells up date!
Where do I start?? The day before yesterday,saw my lung specialist,whom was pleased to report that my fev1 had gone up to 1.8,he believes due to the onbreze,working for me,so reluctant to put me on 02 at the moment,which was a relief,I must admit,at the moment. I was supposed to have my ct scan

I know i have been diagnosed with COPD and have had a lung function test and just recieved my results by post.
could some one explain what these figures mean, i know i have severe airflow obstruction, but totally clueless as to the rest ot if, it reads as follows, FEV1 only 1.24 L (36%) AND FEV1/FVC ratio 0.65. Diffusion was impaired with DLCO only 51%. Echocardiography showed low-normal left ventricular systolic

sometimes wonder
when you go for a lung funtion test spirometry breathing test, i often wonder if you had done exercise just before you went for the test.. would that then show a good inprovment in your fev1 results. but then i think it would not be a true result or do it not work that way

Clinical measurement of physical activity appears to be an independent predictor of whether or not patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) will end up being hospitalized, according to a new study conducted by researchers in Connecticut. The study also corroborates an earlier investigation
