res sir, i m having severe cough with mild sputum, having previous history of asthmatic symptoms, right now i cant able to breathe properly , i am felling my chest was stiff during inspiration, i done PFT , in that it shows restrictive pattern, in that my fvc was 39% fev1 was 36% and fvc/fev1 ratio was 100% in pre broncho dialator and in post broncho dialator test it shows fvc 62% and fev1 51%. so what to do now, can i use combimist l respules through nebulizer.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion you are having asthma. As PFT shows clear-cut improvement in post bronchodilator test. And this improvement is the diagnostic feature for asthma. And communist l is having levosalbutamol and ipratropium. And both are bronchodilator. So you should definitely take this. This will give you symptomatic relief. But you should consult pulmonologist and start maintenance treatment for asthma to prevent such attacks. So take communist l and get appointment of pulmonologist for maintenance treatment.
