Question

I'm trying to figure out if my lungs are healthy. Are there any specific tests I should take? I have an oximeter, and it shows readings of 95 and above. What do these numbers actually mean? I often feel like Im suffocating, which causes me anxiety and other uncomfortable feelings in my body. Can you help me understand what's going on?
