PFT result question...?

Waiting for a follow up from my PFT.  
Results were:
FVC: 89%               FEV1: 94%             FEV1/FVC: 103%    FEV3/FVC: 102%
FEF.2-1.2: 112%     FEF25-75: 95%       FEF75-85: 120%      PEF: 106%
FEF25%: 104%       FEF50%: 90%         FEF75%: 83%

Physical doc said some were a little low, and might be borderline mild asthma.  I went ahead and sheduled with a pulm. dr. to get checked out, just in case.  Anyone know what these could be a sign of?  Appt. isn't until next week, and Im curious.

Thanks for the reply teko.  I guess the more I read the more I get confused on the interpretation and what the lower numbers mean in relation to the higher regular ones, especially since I know nothing about pft's and what they mean.

Those numbers look like mild asthma, just from the little I know, it is definately not emphysema.

Also, the printout said air trapping might be present.  And, I'm 30 y/o male, 180lbs, caucasian.
