Allergic Rhinitis and low FEF25-75
Hi doctor,
I read in patients with Allergic Rhinitis FEF 25-75 in PFT report will be low or impaired. I have allergic Rhinitis from last 5 years but didn't take treatment. But I have also smoked for 12 years 15 cigerettes a day.
"Compromised FEF25-75% is frequently observed in patients with bronchial hyper-responsiveness in asthma or allergic rhinitis."
My PFT details:
FEV1: 81%
FVC: 92%
FEV1/FVC: 91%
FEF 25-75: 46%
Will this be progressive or If i take treatment for Allergic Rhinitis there is a possibility of reversal?
I have stopped smoking from three months
