I was diagnosed with heart failure several years ago. As it turned out, when my blood pressure was brought under control, my enlarged heart went back to normal size. For years I would gasp for breathe with my heart stuff. I got better from all that. Now I am really short of breathe again. The cardiologist says that it absolutely is not cardiac. I wonder how much of it was really cardiac back then.

I guess it is all part of the MG.

The diaphragm is a muscle.

diaphragm /di·a·phragm/ (diŽah-fram)
1. the musculomembranous partition separating the abdominal and thoracic cavities and serving as a major muscle aiding inhalation.

Its not that some of the breathing muscles get fatigued.

It is the diaphragm that gets fatigued.
