Right i have been given one, what is normal breathing rate? i have not been told but it is annoying the fact it keeps varying one doc has told me 500 and another 350 so what should i be aiming for and when should i worry coz its round the 350 mark yet i have been able to blow 500, i know this should be in health but is there anyone that knows, I am 18 and 5ft 2" thanks guys

I took mine there and got 480.
i can get bout 700 and im 5'8 and 10 stone.
last weekend I ended up in the emergancy deptartment at 6 in the morning having an asthma attack (not had one for about 15 years so didn't have an inhaler anymore)
on my first attempt I got 100, then had another go and got it to 200. after taking an inhaler and waiting for 15 minutes it was back to 450-460.
I wish I could do 600+
