Hello @boredsilly
As @kanaazpereira mentioned, I have had 2 cardiopulmonary exercise tests and it is a good test, especially where breathing problems are concerned. It is different than the traditional stress exercise test in that you wear a facial mask apparatus over your mouth and your oxygen levels are recorded as well as the EKG (heart information). You will probably need to visit a larger medical center in order to have this test. Here is some information from Mayo regarding this test, http://www.mayoclinicproceedings.org/article/S0025-6196(11)60946-4/pdf
I would certainly recommend a second opinion. How long have you had this problem?

Sounds like you've been through this routine a few times, so probably know what next step is. If like me, it is back to the doctor and meds.
