My FVC had gone up to 5.18 (i forget the percentage) and my FEV1 was 93%. My lung doctor said it’s “good to see your FVC went up”. My ratio showed mild copd like it always does. Bec ive never smoked tho and im only 35, they label me “moderate-severe persistent obstructive asthma”. Even tho my symptoms and PFTs act and look like copd. No med really helps but breztri sometimes.
Anyway- my question is- i dont get it bec i thought it was bad when the fvc is so large in copd patients like me. i thought the larger lung volume was a problem.
My DLCO was 85 percent which is normal but it went down from 98 percent a year ago. Is this something i should be worried about?
Thanks for your help!! Hoping your Halloween goes well! Im taking my 2 year old son trick or treating. Im excited to see him happy about that. He ran away from me today at my moms who lives in a hilly area. I was right behind him, running through yards- the little man!! Lord. It got me very out of breathe. That’s always a hard time. I hate how u get more angry and upset at him than other “non airway issue” moms and dads.
Stay well everyone!
