I took the pulse test with walking it turned out ok.
The spirometry test was low when I took it.

By breathing tests, do you mean pulse oximetry where they put a finger probe on to measure your oxygenation or do you mean spirometry where you blow into a machine that measures FEV1 (volume of air pushed out forcefully over 1 minute....you take the deepest breath you can and blow, hard)?
