Pft report
I am a 29 yo male with 153 cm height n 73 kgs weight. I have done my pft becauase I was suffering from breathlessness. Did my x ray as well. My pulmonologist wrote off both reports as normal and well performed. I am very scared about restrictive lung diseases which I've read about in internet and when I told him that I've read somewhere that a normal fev/fvc ratio means resteictive lung disease, he laughed and said a little knowledge is dangerous and my report was in normal range, also told me not to overthink. He told me that I am overweight n need to get in shape too! I am very scared to restrictive lung disease and have been very down ever since. I am attaching my pft report. Please take a look.
