Confused about lung function tests

So all of my tests have come back in the normal range. Echocardiogram, PFT, overnight pulse ox, and ct scan which only showed some coronary and aortic calcifications. See the dr on Thursday. Still have no clue why I have intermittent oxygen drops.

PFT can be fun. Lungs can blow but nit always suck. I was like this. Doc says all ok. I say no. Easy to blow while sitting. Long story but I have vocal cord disfunction. There is a technical term but too long. My vocal cords close up and I can't suck so I can't breathe. Really fooled pulmonologist. PT from ent vocal cord doc did the trick. I would be in low 80's. Now low 90's most of the time. Ask doc about possibility of vocal cord problems. Mine can still close up if I don't relax and breathe properly.
