Pulmonary lung function test

Hi, I'm hoping someone can help me understand my numbers. In July 2017 I had a spirometer test done and it showed moderate restriction. Had a pulmonary lung function test February 2018. This test said no restriction. It says moderate airflow obstruction with gas trapping and high resistance with normal diffusion no restriction. Moderate fixed obstruction. Could someone please help me understand the numbers. Told my NP things are getting worse can't move fast because I get winded fast get dizzy or light headed when walking have severe sleep apnea and have to keep taking mask off as I can't breathe

I'm not sure anyone on the thyroid forum can help with that. I have lung disease and don't really understand the lung function tests.
