COPD and Emphysema: Confused by pulmonary function test and more

Thanks for the reply. I know folks on here are not docs but thought maybe someone else may have had the same type(s) of things noted. The post I provided was the report from a few days ago and they compared it to Oct 2015. The doctor hasn't called back so I figured I'd reach out the members for their take. I was taking Tudorza and Symbicort which I went back to recently. My pulmonologist had me try Trelegy which looking back is when things started going down hill. I have taken Spiriva and Advair in the past but when I fall in the gap I need to switch to Tudorza and Symbicort (both AZ medications) because I meet their income guidelines for PAP and with GSK I don't. Medications for COPD are out of control and I've been on them for over 10 years. One thing that was in my retirement plan. Add to that uncontrolled diabetes for 7 years, a heart attack and UC what more could a guy ask for ?? 🙂

@bb729- I'm so sorry that you are dealing with all of this. It can certainly be discouraging and frightening. My pulmonologist has recently put me on Trelegy and I love it and it has made a very big difference. I'm dealing with lung cancer, emphysema and COPD. I hope that you scan doesn't have any surprises and that going back on Tudorza is helping once again. I'm not sure what you mean by medications for COPD are out of control. Would you mind explaining? If you answer me, or others would you mind putting @ before their sign in name so that I can keep track of who is talking to whom? Thanks
