While Lying Down In Bed I Suddenly Was Having Impaired Breathing Last Nite. I Could Only Swallow With Extreme Effort. It Was Quite Scary.
I do not want to give any medical advice, but for comfort you can immediately sit up put yourself in a seated position. Make sure you’re not lying down flat. If you’re prescribed Mestinon, you might take that and I would contact your doctor as soon as possible to report these new symptoms, they might want to change your medication’s or the timing of your mestinon or other medicine
Agree with other mGers. These are symptoms that you do not ignore. Also, reclining at a 30 degree angle will help while you get medical help.
You should contact your Doctor. My Doctor told me if this happens go immediately to the Emergency room. You could be into or headed to a Crisis.
Dear community friends, thank you so much for your responses. It happened in the middle of the night, but I did get up and sat on the couch upright, and tried to relax as much as I could. I did also immediately take my Mestinon. After about 40 minutes, I was able to swallow much better. I messaged my doctor today and have heard nothing yet. The next time I will just head to the ER with my husband. I am feeling better tonight, was pretty wiped out all day today.
I am so sorry you went through this! And I agree with Edward, this sounds like you could be heading into crisis - I would contact the doctor asap.
Hope things get better quickly for you! 💕
