Let's hope the EMG shows something. Unfortunately, if it is your diaphragm, you will be stuck with the bipap.

Re: [QUAD-L] breath
Have you been scanned for bone spurs in your neck. A buddy, C3-6, had breathing problems due to a spur growing at the C3 level of his injury from the vertebrae in towards his spinal cord. Among all the things I had to worry about, never knew this could happen. He had a risky surgery to have it removed.

[QUAD-L] breath
One more test done, that does not show what is causing my breathing problem. First they were sure it was CO2 buildup, so they put me on a BiPAP. Then they thought it was weak lungs. Then they heart issues. But those were both cleared buy a lung doctor and cardiologist. Then they were sure it was low iron, but now at 3 Iron IVs with two more to go, but so far no change. The hematologist said that's probably not the cause now. The last test they can think of is the EMG test I do next week. They will test the diaphragm. I just feel out of breath, heavy chested, like I've run a marathon with a belt across my chest very tight. I was perfectly fine until I had the heart ablation. I use a ventilator at night sometimes during the day just to make it easier to breathe. Just a little help on my inhale makes me feel fine. I just hate wearing that mask. No one else has any ideas, and it's getting very frustrating. greg
