There are often comments here regarding breathing. Often mentioned that if your breathing is bad, you should go to the ER. However, if you have no experience then how do you know what is bad enough to warrant emergency care and what is not.

To that end, I have the following question;

When I wake in the morning my respiration rate (resps) is 36, or higher, and I can be gasping from the mouth.
After sitting up (nothing else) the resps fall to 24 (approx).
After taking my Mestinon (40mg) and waiting 20 mins, resps are at 12-14.

I am wondering if this is something to mention to my GP. Mestinon is only on a trial basis, so it is unlikely that I could get Timespan to see me through the night, but does anyone else recognise these sort of symptoms.
