Pft shows no obstructive by fev1/fvc ratio but vc is 79% so additional defect can't be excluded. fvc was at 103 a few months ago. what could this mean?

Mgt: I would suggest a set of lung volumes and DLCO in addition to chest imaging to help determine the next best step in your management. An inbox consultation is also available to outline your management plan.
