My peak flow readings have usually been normalNormal saline flush (within the reference values I've found on multiple web sites), but my FEV1 readings seem low. My highest FEV1 reading is 2.04l, but it is generally lower than that. I am 40 year old female and I am 66 inches.
Since the peak flow values are OK, should I be concerned about the FEV1 readings? Why would one measurement be normal and the other be low?
Many thanks in advance for any insight you may have.
