I recently quit smoking after more than 8 years, but now I'm having issues with some right lung pain and it feels uneasy to breathe sometimes. I've also been dealing with frequent colds. Are there any home remedies or tips that could help with these symptoms? I'm really looking for some advice on what to do.

I just got my spirometry results back and I'm a bit confused. It shows that my FEV1 is 33 and my FVC is 41, but then it says my FEV1FVC is 70. I'm trying to understand what it means to have low FEV1 and FVC but a high FEV1FVC ratio. Is this something I should be worried about?
