Hi all does anyone have weak chest muscles that can become so weak it stops their breathing? I stopped breathing a few times and had to force the air into my lungs as my body just stopped pumping in the air, the prob was with the muscles themselves and not the lungs. No-one realises that the chest muscles are all involved in breathing and not just the lungs themselves its only when it happens you you know this drs have never believed me - im so annoyed at them in general for my suffering going on so long when if someone had of just believed me in 1st place would of had a lot less suffering, chronic probs since 18 am now 29 was diagnosed with fibro about 3/4 yrs ago this in itself deoxigenated the body. I had an operation last yr and stopped breathing in it, only now the doc beleived me even b4 i had op i told them id breathing probs in chest they didnt beleive me then it did happen..anyway am on a waiting list now to see lung ppl but that could take 4yrs waiting list...what can you do when this happens it doesnt happen that often that i actually stop only when am really weak etc..but experience the breathlessness alot..would buying oxygen thing online help??? i know its kinda rare but some ppl can have it from injuring this area etc..wondering if any1 has anything that would help with this.
Thanks so much.
