The pulmonary function test was taxing on my ribs, chest and throat....... The lady kept telling me my epiglottis was closing so she was not getting a good reading, so i had to keep doing it over and over... She then asked how long i have been making that noise when i breathe, i told her i did not notice it until i was lying down to go to bed about three weeks ago and could not breather what so ever out of my mouth and now i have to sleep upright. When the test was over she said the doctor will look it over and give the results to my doc. I told her my appointment was in a month and she said if the doc finds anything they will contact her sooner. That was that.... The only reading i saw was a big red block that said <85% FVC....... So if anyone knows what that means, feel free to chime in.... I had a completer exam but i did not see or even try to read anything else....... Thanks, Sam
