What they did for you was bedside spirometry. As Alice said, it is not as accurate as full PFT's. What people tend to do is to blow as hard as they possibly can. If you have MG, that might show a "false" normal. MG gets worse with repetitive activity. If you did a MIP, for example, five times, chances are that the numbers would keep going down.

MG is not a static illness. It can't be accurately measured with a "static" test. The tests have to show what your muscles are like "in action."

Did they do an arterial blood gas? Probably not since they declared your breathing was okay.

I'm glad you got some help. Please don't chalk what you were feeling while breathing up to anxiety. You don't come across as someone who is anxious. Think about it.
