I also had a pulmonary function study that was boarderline. They will retest me next year or if my breathing worsens. I have a pulse oximeter I use on nights my breathing feels difficult. I ordered a wedge to elevate my head at night and find it helpful as well. I also have tightness in my throat like someone has their hands around my throat. Taking an extra mestinon in the middle of the night usually helps these symptoms
