Hi

Hope everyone is breathing well today. I have already written my story but I am wanting to ask a question and don`t know where or how to do that on this site so here I am. I saw my doc yesterday and tried to get some answers from him but he always does all the talking and telling and it's hard to get a question in his one-sided conversations because when he gets through, he is off and out the door. He is a great doc otherwise but anyway I managed to get the results from my spirometry from his nurse: fev% = 37....fvc% = 53....fev/fvc ratio = 70.....fef25-75% = 14. She didn't know what this means and I`m not sure either. I think it means I am Stage 3. Can anyone tell me if I am right or explain this thing for me?
