@hopeful33250 one possible thought- when I was first evaluated for asthma my spirometry test showed my breathing was 103% of normal so they couldn’t understand why I kept telling them I felt I wasn’t getting enough air. After a lot of treatments my test results went to 150% of “normal “. They now call me a super breather or outlier. I still have pretty nasty asthma but my readings are different from most. Yours may be as well.

That is interesting. Even when I've been to the doctor or walk-in clinic, with noticeable wheezing, my oxygen level (tested on the finger) is usually always in the normal range.

This asthma diagnosis is new to me, and I'm learning a lot. The term "super breather" is quite the title!
