peak flow not above 270

When my children were young they both had asthma. They used to laugh at me because they could get better peak flow reading than me even though I am not an asthmatic. I used to talk to the nurses and doctors about it when taking my children but they used to ignore me. Now all of a sudden they have decided I have COPD because its low. Has anyone else had this experience?

Last time mine was so low was with pneumonia. Mine on a good day is 450 but usually 400-420. I suffer with asthma. Last time doctor checked it was excellent apparently.
I presume you've had xrays etc before being told it is COPD.

My husband has COPD and his reading is always around 400. What tests have you had to prove COPD and what symptoms do you have?

The only test I have had done is with a spirometry. They did two tests on it but I have to admit I refused to take 4 puffs of ventolin to have them repeated as I have seen what an overdose of ventolin can do. I have no symptoms at all. A doctor ordered it because I smoke. I have had no other tests done. I have a chest infection at the moment and I still don't need to use ventolin.
