Re: Just diagnosed with Myasthenia Gravis and told it was related to

[Guest guest]

I don't know if it will help or not but I'll suggest something you can try.

As I understand it we sometimes will have a CO2 build-up in the lower

part of our lungs even when we're getting sufficient O2 for the needs of

our bodies. Sometimes I will have a somewhat uncontrolled sudden deep

shuddering breath; I think this flushes the CO2 from deep within our

lungs and removes the perceived need for more O2.

So my suggestion would be to try to exhale as deeply as possible and

then inhale a breath as deeply as possible and see if it helps at all.

It should only be needed once or twice; not continually. I don't know

if it will or not but I don't see how it could harm you, and it's free.

Best of luck,

Just tried it. Made me cough once from my lungs. It probably worked.
