Annie B3 says it best in that your breathing is not something to speculate about when you are struggling to breath. And if you have asthma which can feel restrictive too that could be confusing. I dont have asthma. When I was first getting treated and my breathing was as much a part of my weakness they tried me on inhalers after I did the home Peak Flow meter study for a couple months. When my internist saw the numbers she called the allergist I had seen to get one for me immediately. But the inhaler never helped. It wasnt until I was in the hosp for a myasthenic crisis for the first time and was given mestinon did my breathing turn around FAST! It was amazing!! I am not big on drugs at all but this drug was a miracle to me.

For me it can feel like a very tight girdle is around your chest not your tummy. I dont were bras even unless I go out as any restriction on worse days is too much for me to add on.
