Help with PFT results please.

I've had difficulty breathing for 7 months after a bout of bronchitis.  Here are my results...  Is this asthma, chronic bronchitis??  But my most important question is, could this possibly be EARLY emphysema??

FEV1     4.62            3.78                       4.38               95%                          4.73                 102%
