Hello guys.
I posted a while back that I had gotten a 84% on my spirometry and thought this wasn't my FEV1 predicted as the doctor had told me my results were really good.
So I've just gotten my actual results back and figured I would share them here in case anyone remembered me. These results are after the inhalor thingy.
FVC: 5.96, Predicted: 5.59
FEV1: 4.96, Predicted: 4.49
FEV1/FVC: 83.2, Predicted: 80.4
PEF: 631, Predicted 610
I remember you so would this make your third test this year? I no dr but from what I see your fine. I still hope you gave up the fags, excersing and eating right.
hiya im glad youve got all your results. i kind of understand them. i can tell you mine then we can compare. my test was FEV1 75% . so thats puts me at stage B (Gold 1 or 2) so im like beggining of Emphysema. stage A would have been better. but ive only just been diagnoses with copd 2 weeks ago. this breathless thing chest pain been going on for a while. and of course cos id had a heart attack , medics where putting it down to my heart. sorry ive gone on a bit there. Are you feeling quite well at the moment just wondering what your symptons are. take care love julie xx
No this is my first and only test. I had gotten results earlier but was confused as to what they meant, and this time I got some feedback from the nurse and the actual numbers back.
Hello!
As of right now I have no symptoms and i am healthy. I first thought the 84% she had given me was the predicted FEV1(where your is 75%), but I had understood it wrong at it thankfully turned out my predicted FEV1 was 105%
hiya just got your 2 messeges, i do fully understand what you are saying, i think its all blooming difficult to understand. i think im slowly getting there. well thats really good that you have no symptons. sounds like i am more advanced with it than you are. do you mind me asking why did you have the breathing test in the first place, was you feeling poorly. take care love julie xxxxxxxxxxxx
The reason was that I had been a smoker for 10 years, and had never done any kind of astma/COPD related tests in my life. The suggested at the doctors office that it's a good idea to have one done, for future comparisons in case I was to get something.
That and I have a bit of health anxiety.
aww bless you take care, and take it easy and im sure you will be fine. theres no point in me saying dont worry, because i know you will. sounds like you have a good doctor to just send you like that for tests. its like having an MOT. take care julie xx
This is good right?
Yes! Very good. lol
Ah good stuff 👍👍👍🇨🇦
All good. You don't have copd thank goodness.

I think I'll keep away from this forum and general Googling on the subject from now on.
Thanks for all the help!
morning i wish you all the very best, take care of your self
