Your PFT predicted values may vary depending on the machine settings and the demographic data entered. There’s no need to worry— 1.Your PFT results are within normal limits. 2.You have a history of pulmonary TB and COVID, but based on your current CT scan(assuming it’s recent one ), there are no clear signs of fungal infection. However, to rule it out definitively, specific tests like Aspergillus-specific IgG levels are recommended. 3.Taking antifungal medications on your own is not advisable, as it may not be effective and could lead to resistance or side effects. 4.Get evaluated regarding breathlessness
