Could you help me understand my spirometry results? The report mentions predominant small airways obstruction, but I dont have any symptoms. I attached the report. What does this mean and should I be concerned?

View allI'm really worried because I've been feeling this heaviness in my left upper area and sometimes it's hard to catch my breath. It's getting really uncomfortable and annoying. I saw a cardiologist but they didn't find anything. To feel better, I sometimes have to take deep breaths through my mouth. Do you have any ideas on what could help or any medicine you can suggest?

I'm trying to figure out the difference between an MDI inhaler and an MDI transhaler. I know transhalers are used with transpacers, but is there anything else that sets them apart? Like, are there differences in how they work, how effective they are, or even side effects? I'd love to get some insight on this.
Transhalers are easy,and delivery of the drug is much assured.if you have good hand, mouth co ordination, Mdi are also good.if you do not have good co ordination, transhalers are best.

I'm really worried about my grandfather who was just admitted to the ICU after having a cerebral stroke. Now he's got pneumonia, and I noticed the doctor reduced his oxygen cylinder level from 8 to 5. Ever since, his SpO2 has been around 85. I'm trying to understand why the doctor would lower his oxygen like that, especially when his condition doesn't seem to be getting better. What could be the reason for this decision?
