Also, when u say how high can i count, does that mean holding my breath or while inhaling our exhaling? I've read about this but wasn't clear when u count..lol

Welcome and sorry you are going through this. In the ER, they told me to exhale and count. I could only get to 10. Mestinon does improve my breathing. But it does not cure the symptoms. It only makes me about 20% better and it has a very short duration, about 3 hours for me.

Hang in there, It is a slow journey
