Hello Viv,

 

Here are some links to information to get you started on understanding a bit about your pulmonary function test results.

 

This one is right here on Health Central.

And here are a couple more. Just click on the link below and scroll down to "Spirometry" where you will find an article by a respiratory therapist instructor and then a link to some explanations of the test.

Good luck, Viv. I hope this helps! Learning your lung function numbers is a good first step in breathing better.
