Air Trapping? PLEASE HELP

[DustinS85]

So my FVC, FEV1, FEV1/FVC, SVC, Diffusion Capacity, and TLC are all NORMAL. My FEF 25 - 75% is abnormal (76%), my RV is abnormal (3.03L 169%), and RV/TLC (36%)..... My doctor said I have air trapping and mid air flow is abnormal. The pulmonologist said I may have mild asthma. What is air trapping? Should I be worried?

I found a good article here and it describes well, what I sometimes experience. For me when these symptoms start, it helps if I forcefully exhale a bit more. Like squeezing the last drop of air out of my lungs. It is hard to do when your lungs are screaming at you to inhale. But with air trapping, I find inhaling hard anyway and can’t take a full breath in. breathinstephen.com/air-tra...

Like Matrix I've not heard of it. I would go back to your doctor and ask them what it is and what is causing it and what you can do about it. It's not unreasoable to want clarity. All the best.
