We went to see the neurologist last month and my husbands breathing has went from 83% to 77% in 6 months. He has been thinking something could be going on with his breathing lately and I wonder(hope) it could be from the Dr. telling him his test has went down 6%. I have did some research and he does have some signs of early repiratory distress such as vivid nightmares, headaches(on occasion), and low speaking voice. I am hoping this is just paranoia but I don't know. Could you be having breathing difficulity at 77%? He also has a lot of nighttime sweats but he thinks this is from being overheated and not being able to move the blankets.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
