tiger Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 It seems that my muscles are wasting away and have not been able to gain any back yet. Does anyone ever feel like they can't breath, like the muscles around you rib cage are tight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MomtoGiuliana Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 A number of people on this forum have described muscle wasting as a symptom. I did not have that problem, but I do have problems with muscle spasms, and a feeling like I cannot breathe easily--sort of like pressure around my rib cage that is uncomfortable and a little scary.What treatments are you using? Hope you start to feel a lot better soon.Katherine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MNsue Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 Sara,I have had a lot of left side weakness since my latest episode of POTS. Since that time I have started treatment with an immunologist to treat what we believe is an underlying autoimmune disfunction. It has helped with the weakness. I have been able to tolerate physical therapy as well. I am stable and slowing getting stronger. I don't know if I will ever be "Normal" but I can work part-time from home now. Good Luck.Rhonda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
