Tips for breathing

Most of my MG symptoms are under control, I do get flares sometimes though. However today I'm having some breathing issues, which happens every so often to me. What do you all do to help you through the breathing issues? Any things you eat or drink, things you do or take? Anything help you specifically?

  1. Hey there! I just wanted to check in and see how you've been doing. 😀

    1. Relax, blow your nose, take deep breaths through your nose not your mouth. I breath through my nose while taking deep breathes, next thing I know I'm breathing normal again and most times fall asleep.

      1. sorry to hear you were experiencing difficulty with breathing. Did you reach out to your physician about what you were experiencing? I hope you have found some relief since posting. I shared an article on difficulty with breathing here - https://myasthenia-gravis.com/living/difficulty-breathing. Wishing you well. Kindly, Jessica, Team Member

        1. hello Jessica are you getting any infusions? That can be a side effect. Also being very conscious of correct posture, breathing deep, and slow. See how that works.😊
