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!

@hopeful33250 by the way, you may be better off in an asthma clinic, where they measure you with a spirometry test rather than blood oxygen level. They can compare the amount of oxygen you’re actually getting each time with an FEV (you blow into it as hard as you ) and see if you’re getting better or worse with your medication. Good luck!
