My question is if he is not having attacks of VCD, but has consistent peak flow reading of 400-450 at the age of 16, height of 70 inches, is there a potential problem to be addressed because of being at the low end of peak flow? Of course, we do not know what the peak flow would have been prior to the VCD. This fall, he has raced the same course under excellent conditions, but been slower by 30 seconds than his times last year before the VCD episodes, showing a lack of stamina in the final mile, despite the good training runs.
I know that peak flow readings are determined by height, age and WEIGHT. Looking at the normalsNormal saline flush for my height and age I should be greater than I am because I lower than the average weight.
