Question

I'm a bit worried after my spirometry test for a job preemployment check. The doctor mentioned something about a mild restriction. Does this mean I might be considered unfit for the job? I've attached my report to get some clarity on this. Can you help me understand what it all means?

  1. Understanding Mild Restriction:

    • Mild restriction in spirometry indicates a slight reduction in lung volume.
    • It may not necessarily disqualify you from employment, depending on job requirements.
  2. Next Steps:

    • Consult with your healthcare provider for a detailed interpretation.
    • Discuss with the employer or occupational health team about specific job fitness criteria.
  3. Recommendations:

    • Follow any medical advice given by your doctor.
    • Consider lifestyle changes or treatments if recommended to improve lung function.
