These results do not mean anything in isolation. You cannot make the diagnosis of asthma without a reversibility testing. There is a slight decrease in some of the values. However, I do not know how these were performed (as a set of three or one test) or if you have any symptoms at all. I would take these results with a careful history and physical examination and discuss the results with your doctor.

I did a pre-RX and post-RX The results for the post-RX was FVC 73%, FEV1 73%.
I was originally told I have asthma but then another specialist said I don't because on the pre-RX test, my DLCO was at 70%, eventhough the FEV1 was at 69%.
Let me know if this helps or you need anything else to help answer my question.
