Excuse my ignorance , but what is this 400ml mark?

Rely on how you feel and think positive. No-one in their right mind wants to have asthma, after all! Maybe, you're ok, really. Happy New Year!

If you are concerned about not getting more than 400 on a peak flow meter, then you are worrying unduly, and making your self worse. Mine is under half that and am quite capable of leading a normal life.
