i'm guessing you don't remember any terms that the dr used? which is totally normal especially if the words are foreign to you. i'm guessing he is telling you that your FEV1/FVC is at 69%?? and 70% or lower is considered obstructive airway disease. i can explain what the two numbers are specifically if you need me to. i'm guessing you don't have a copy of the report. i've found myself asking for copies of everything with my sister lately. did you take the PFTs before and then after using an inhaler? which would tell you if that significantly changed the numbers? i used to teach spirometry to my pharmacy students (not fun, as most folks when told to breathe normally hyperventilated and a few passed out on me), but i digress. do you have exercise induced asthma? an inhaler really helps with that and it isn't a bad thing to have one handy in case you need it. but if your dr thinks just going as is and seeing how you do, with i presume follow-up as needed, then that is probably the way to go.
