My spirometry test

by Soheil, Oct 02, 2009 11:59PM

Hello there

Please help me regarding my spirometry test. I've such a hard time understanding it.

About 5 months ago I had an spirometry test. The result was : PD20FEV1: 0.89 mg/ml .

As I recently felt that my asthma has worsened yesterday I took a new spirometry test. Here is the result :
PD20FEV1: < 1 mg/ml .

Please let me know what has happened exactly? Also I would like you to tell me which kind of asthma do I have right now, and what kind of asthma I used to have 5 months ago? Do I have minor, or average or severe asthma right now? I can scan and show you my complete spirometry graph if needed.

Thank you so much.I really appreciate your help.

Soheil
