Bone?!?: that test is not really relevant. Listening to the lungs is pretty good. Tests of how much wind you have (spirometry) would be better. PULMONARY FUNCTION TESTS and seeing how much oxygenation you got (finger probe...1 min test). Those about normal... and/or with rapid heart, feelings of panic, breathlessness out of the blue.... most likely stress/panic
