Question

I have early small airway obstruction. Spirometry shows severe restriction with FVC percentage less than 45 and FEV1 divided by FVC percentage greater than 70. I have also taken an HRCT chest, which is normal. I have attached my report. Please help me with this?

If spirometry shows FVC less than 45 percent and HRCT is normal, early small airway obstruction like asthma or post infective airway changes could be the cause. Discuss inhaler therapy and repeat spirometry after a few weeks.

Take a AEC Test (Absolute Eosinophil Count) Test
