Confused
by Cay911, Apr 16, 2008 06:59PM
I'm very confused. I had done Pulmonary Function Test (PFT) to diagnose Asthma. I have being wheezing on a off, coughing, chest congestion. After the PFT I was told by the nurse who check with the doctor, I have Obstructive Lung Disease but not Asthma. Is there a difference between Obstructive Lung disease and Asthma definetely was not COPD. Doctor told the nurse I need to take Proventil inhaler then Advair twice at day at the same time. I also have to take Singulair everyday. Can someone help me to clarify, because when I do my research in the computer it says that Asthma is an example of Obstructive Lung Disease? Very confusing. Thanks..........
