Virtual consult/PFTs: From your description the diagnosis of COPD and/or asthma may be considered. A pulmonary function test including lung volumes and DLCO will provide additional information that will help to establish the diagnosis. A treatment plan may include inhalers based on the diagnosis. A virtual consult is available to assist you and your physician in the process, and to review findings and the images.
