Which numbers do your docs find most important??? Also what are some ways to improve the numbers??? (aside from the vest lol)

I was always told that they like to see hte FEV1.. this doc likes to see both the FVC and FEV1.

I was also curious about exercises/stretches that help improve those numbers.

*my pfts have went from 26% fev1 52% fev1 in just 1 week of IV meds. YAY

The FEV1 is the best indicator of lung health...a lot of "sick" lungs out there can breath in close to the predicted amount of air but have a hard time getting the predicted amount out in the first second. This is due to mucus plugs, inflammation, scar tissue as well as a variety of other stuff.

The best way to increase your numbers are treatments and exercise. I talk a lot about those two things on my blog if you want to take a look.
