Possibly to rule out a serious pulmonary comorbidity.

They call myasthenia gravis the snowflake disease because each of us are different. We each have our own symptom subset. Some people have problems breathing and others don’t. It’s much better to meet a pulmonologist now when you’re not in crisis, and be able talk explain what is going on yourself. They will be able to better address your question as to whether your shortness of breath is related to your MG or not and possibly run some tests to get some baseline readings now (for comparison later if things change).

Well all my other drs listen to my lungs and say they are clear. Unfortunately it's not happening when I'm at the drs office.
