What Does PEF FEV 1 Test Results Means?
I,m a 48 year old male in pretty good shape. I have been dizzy for about a month. I have had hayfever allergies all my life. Just recently had a EKG for physical said low heart rate of 53. Also FEV1 test PEF[L/min] says 470.7 362.6 What might this mean?

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
A heart rate of 53 is low and you must discuss any abnormal rhythm problems with your dcotor.
The FEV1 is the volume exhaled during the first second of a forced expiratory maneuver started from the level of total lung capacity. Predicted normal values for FEV1 depend on age, sex, height, mass and ethnicity. Your values are 470. 7 and 362.6 and these need to be matched with your forced vital capacity FVC.
