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:
-
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.
-
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.

I've been noticing that every time I drink hot tea, I end up coughing a lot. It's been happening for quite a while now. Also, my wife was recently diagnosed with a TB gold infection that's positive. I'm pretty worried and wondering what could possibly be going on here. Could this all be related somehow? What should we do?
Kindly, go for TB screening

My dad got diagnosed with COPD about three years ago because he used to smoke a lot. The doctors back then gave him these inhalers called Tiova and Foracort to help with it. But ever since, he's been having trouble with urination and gets really bad indigestion. A couple of months ago, he also started getting skin rashes on his hands and wrists. I did some research and found that Tiova has a whole list of side effects, and a lot of them seem to match up with what he's going through right now. Do you think he should stop using these inhalers?
Seroflo rotahaler sos for breathing difficulty is advised to the patient.
