What is Diagnosing Variable Respiratory Symptoms about?

This document provides guidelines for diagnosing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It recommends taking a patient history of respiratory symptoms, performing tests to confirm the presence of airflow limitation such as documenting reduced FEV1/FVC ratio and increased bronchodilator reversibility or variability in PEF measurements. A physical exam should check for wheezing on auscultation, especially during forced expiration.
