If this PFT test was done before usage of inhaler some 2-3 months back, better to repeat it once again if you are able to perform nicely, for checking reversibility post bronchodilator,
If not able to perform well, can undergo PEFR testing for stepping up or stepping down the treatment
You may need additional SABA/SAMA based on your clinical signs and physiological pft/pefr reports now
