Hi All,
I was wondering if anyone had their FVC reach a certain figure and then 'plateau' for a prolonged period of time. I have seen a few examples on PLM but I am never sure if people just copy the previous result or this is truly the state of affairs.
The reason I am asking is that due to loss of abdominal muscles, and presumably intercostals, my partner's FVC has dropped to about 80, but I absolutely refuse to see the steady drop!
Also, has anybody got a low FVC reading but no obvious breathing difficulty?
