So the text is pretty small to read, but I see

FVC 2.35 (56% pred)
FEV1 1.59 (45% pred)
FEV1/FVC 67.7% (86% pred)

Doesn't the FEV1/FVC of 67.7% < 70% imply obstructive disease, or at the very least a mixed picture? I thought the definition of restrictive disease is a normal FEV1/FVC

What numbers are you using to classify this as a restrictive disease?

Again, I don't often read flow-volume loops so I am open to learning.
