Copd or asthma?

2021-06-10 16:19:23
I had high esionophils count (10.5%), so my general doctor asked to do a chest xray, it impressioned COPD but i hardly smoke ever. So I consulted a pulmonologist, he asked to do a PFT, i have done it, attached the reports. M really worried if it is copd or asthma. I have cough sometimes very slight phlegm comes up, i had a history of year back when i felt a little shortness of breath while sleeping(i mean i will hard inhale many times), but it went away in a day or 2. Never happened again. No other symptoms. Also this cough started mostly after march 1 when i had a throat infection, i ate a lot of antibiotics and it slowly reduced, i had taken ab phyllin too. Now its normal i cough occasionally in a day. My esionophils: 10.5%, ige serum/: 400+. My mother 60+, has asthmatic tendency. So please help me if this is copd or asthma, and is it reversible? M really scared. And if asthma what to do next. I dont smoke or drink or exposed to any chemical area...
