Allergic Astham
I am a 29 year old male and I am suffering from allergy since childhood. Lately, I have also been suffering from Allergic Asthma and I am taking Seroflo Inhaler and Montair FX tablet.
But, one thing clearly disturbs me. Some months ago, I underwent a reverse spirometry test and my FEV1/ FVC ratio was 81%. But my FEV1 ratio was 71% and even after using bronchodilator, my FEV1 didnot improve and it was same. I donot do smoking. Is it a cause of concern? I consulted the doctor and he told me that maybe my test was done properly and I need to undergo the test again.
Is it a cause of concern that FEV1 didnot improve after using bronchodilator in the lab?
I am very much worried.
