Guest guest Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 Hello, Does anyone know about CMT and breathing problems? From what we've read on the internet, it sounds like it is very rare to have breathing problems, only in severe CMT where the phrenic nerve is impacted? My husband has type 1, he is 35, symptoms have been pretty mild. He doesn't have any pain, has some difficulty w/ balance, but overall is very active, climbs, bikes, runs, etc, is in very good resperatory and physical shape. However, in June he started having trouble breathing from time to time. The doc (gp) said it was likely acid reflux or allergies. He's tried treatment for both to no avail. He was referred to pulm. specialist and they said it could possibly related to CMT but they don't really know, they are sending him for further testing. Just wondering if anyone has had this experience or knows anything about it? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
