• Answer:

  Obviously you have reduced lung function. The question is why. If you are a smoker that's probably the root problem. What kind of pills has your doctor given you? That would be a big clue to what's going on. Reduced tidal volume (the fancy term for how much air you can move in and out with one breath) can be caused by a lot of things. Talk to your doctor. They usually answer direct questions.
