A significant response in ab adult is considered > or equal to 12% improvement in EFV1 or FVC (FVC was 7% change), so disease is not reversible (GOLD, 2021). Most likely diagnosis Bronchiectasis I chose this diagnosis because bronchiectasis is an irreversible widening of portions of the bronchi. Because of the damaged airways, people may notice they are out of breath when exerting themselves (Sheff, 2018).
