I am putting this in a separate thread so it doesn't get lost.

I have been told the results of my breathing test are 'uninterpretable' because I was not able to 'perform the task asked of me'. When I asked the Dr to explain this he said:

'It's like taking a blood test but not having any blood to analyse'.

I asked does this mean there was an absence of air in the test. I added that I am not able to breathe out forcefully as they had asked me to do, trying to do so caused me to become very breathless and faint, and did this not indicate anything?

He said no it is not due to an absence of air, the test is 'uninterpretable'.

I asked: 'Is it worth re-doing the test'?

He said: 'There is no value in re-doing the test and we will not be repeating it'. He added that my oxygenation levels on the pulse ox were normal and that this is 100% reliable.

So, it's been explained to me that it's possible my breathing issues are due to 'chronic muscular tension', which appear to be situated in the inter-coastal muscles of my lower left rib cage.

I wish that the test results had come back normal as this would be far more re-assuring. I trust they know what they're talking about. My breathing has been better recently but I don't know what I would do if it got worse again as it was two months ago. Should I just sit it out? They seem to think that there is no risk in doing so.

Please note it is firmly believed I do NOT have MG but Athlete's Overtraining Syndrome. Forgive me for posting here but you have been so knowledgeable I would really value your advice.

Can anyone help me to understand what this result means?
