I think I had that type of test when I was seen at the pulmonology clinic. They did a 45-minute PFT that included breathing into the machine, and then I had 3-4 puffs of albuterol at different points during the PFT. It showed normal gas exchange, normal lung volumes, and normal arterial oxygen saturation at rest while breathing room air. So, it doesn't look too bad.

I am feeling better with the generic Symbicort and the Aerobika. I'm not constantly coughing or clearing my throat. I am definitely sleeping better and feel clearer-headed during the day.
