When a doctor listens to your lungs, do they tell you to breath back in before you are ready?

This happens to me all the time. Doctor says take a deep breath and hold. Then breath out. Before I’m finished breathing out, they tell me to take another deep breath again. If I don’t do it right away they tell me again. I’m not ready! I haven’t finished exhaling. I can’t inhale until I exhale. I mean I guess I could, but it’s weird to do that.

This happened to me with a recent chest X-ray also. I wasn’t breathing fast enough for her.

Does this happen to you?

Any other things that consistently happen in doctors’ appointments that are frustrating for you?
