Lung Stuff

Sorry guys,

I have a whole list of numbers and abbr. that I'm not sure of. What I do know is:

FVC: Forced Vital Capacity, the amount of air you can forcefully blow out. 6.93

SVC: Is the same as VC, Vital Capacity, the max amount of air that can be inhale after a full exhalation. 6.98

TLC: Total Lung Capacity, is the max volume of air in the lungs at the end of a max inhalation. 9.04

The numbers are litres.

Under the Lung Volume I wrote 2 lines of number with 3 columns.

First is the predicted amount for normal individuals, my age, my height and my weight.

Second is my actual capacity in litres.

Third is my actual capacity after packing in litres.

Remember I'm not a doctor so please forgive me if I have some info wrong.

I was very amazed to see these numbers and during the tests the doctor told me that I kept breaking his machine.

Anyway it's cool stuff to know. I can't believe it.
