Not responding to Bronchodilator
I am suffering from Asthma and allergic rhinitis. I underwent reverse spirometry test and my FEV1/FVC was 81% and FEV1 was 71%. But, the values were still same after using bronchodilator inhaler i.e. no change. Is it serious? My chest X ray and blood tests were normal.
