My old pulmonologist didn't do any follow up PFT after my initial tests. It's worth asking why your doc does it anually. My guess is it may be to check up on folks and make sure their function hasn't declined. Testing is more sensitive than personal reference. If you go long enough not being able to breathe well, you don't notice it as much.

I feel you there... My asthma doc is wanting me to try Xolair because it's the only thing left to try... Not a fan of that idea personally but that's because of other health issues.
