Brief Answer:
Get done PFT.

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

I can understand your concern.
Staging of PFT is based on severity.
And to know the severity, PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) is needed.
So to know the Staging, PFT is must.
Please let me know if PFT is done or not so that I can determine Staging.
I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
