Your reports are suggestive of restrictive lung disease. it means the problem is in your lung parenchyma and not the airways. It can be because of various causes. Your detailed history of onset, duration and associated factors of breathlessness are needed. It cannot be COPD as mentioned in the report as your age doesn’t fit the disease. Get a DLCO Test done which will give better insight of cause of your restrictive lung disease.
