Sky,

Thank you for your help. I am hoping that I could ask a couple more questions - if you have time.
I was confused by the PF doctor on Wed. First time he saw me and I had the breathing tests - he said they were abnormal and that I had brohcial asthma. The CT scan backed that up .

So this Wed I went as follow-up and he said the breathing tests were normal and he wasn't sure that it was asthma and was thinking that I was "out of condition" and of course due to my chronic depressive state - he had talked to my fdoc.

So now, I'm unclear.. I told him that the "not being able to breathe" was different than being out of shape.

I don't know what to do any more. My depression follows me around. Heck when I had a breast lump about 3 years ago, I 'm very, very surprised that depression wasn't the diagnosis.

He gave me one of those meters that you blow into - and for me is about 300 - perhaps he's correct. My pain, my shortness of breath - everything is a "state of my mind".
If you have any thoughts on this, I would appreciate the help.
