ill try to guess ... someone with an allergic reaction will be experiencing bronchoconstriction right? well .. in that course its like having a COPD which will reflect as a decreased FEV1/FVC ratio and an increased RV ..

I think residual volume goes up and the ratio goes down...

Is a obstructive disease so the ratio decreases.
