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.

View allI've had this dry cough for a couple of weeks now, and it just seems to hang around. I don't have a cold or anything, but there's this constant feeling of something in my throat, almost like there's phlegm I can't clear. It's like my nose is dripping into my throat, which is super annoying. I had a Blood Picture test done recently, and I noticed the monocyte level is really low. Could that be causing this cough, or are they unrelated? Just trying to figure out what might be going on here.

I'm a 25-year-old female and have been dealing with asthma since 2005. I've been using Budamate 200 mg and then switched to Formonide Novacart 200 mg since 2012. Now, I'm facing an issue because Formonide Novacart isn't available in the market anymore. I'm wondering what alternative medicine I could use or is it best to see a pulmonologist to discuss other options?

I've been experiencing some late-night wheezing that lasts for a bit. It usually gets better after I use ginger honey, but I'm curious about what's causing it. I don't have a history of asthma, although my sister does. Could there be a connection? Should I be worried about this?
