I've just had a PFT test done, and my FEV1FVC readings came out to be 110, both for pre and post-tests. I'm a bit concerned because I can't consult my pulmonologist since they're on vacation. Do you think this is something I should be worried about?

Your FEV1/FVC ratio of 110% is above the typical normal range of 70-80%, indicating good lung function. There is no immediate cause for concern based on this value alone.

Key Points:

  1. Understanding FEV1/FVC Ratio:

    • Compares air exhaled in one second (FEV1) to total air exhaled after a deep breath (FVC).
    • A higher ratio often indicates healthy lung function.
  2. Interpretation:

    • Same pre and post-test values suggest no significant airway obstruction.
    • Discuss with your healthcare provider for a complete assessment.

If you have no symptoms like shortness of breath, this result is reassuring. Always consult your doctor for personalized advice.
