Thanks for the responses so far!

-- I have used the peak flow meter several times in a row before. At one point I was so upset about feeling like I couldnt breath, I tested some 10-15 times in a row. Each gave virtually the same result right around 600-650 (which sounds like a good thing )

I also have an incentive spirometer, and it seems I can 'breath in' just as good regardless how I am feeling...another good thing!


Could it be assumed that these self-tests (along with the constantly normal pulse ox) are good enough to at least let me know if *something* is going on? Is there any real purpose to do more PFTs or more MIP/MEP tests if the docs are unconcered, and my self testing numbers never flucuate?

After a whole round of docs for the last year, I really can't afford to many more exams and what have you! But I also don't want to be foolish and ignore anything.

Thanks again!
