Hello, I’ve had an EMG in February and it was only on my legs and arms. My question is, I have horrible breathing and back then the doctor said it’s not ALS but my breathing and ability to get a deep breath and cough is actually getting much worse and I’m currently in the hospital. Now all my other tests that would point to breathing difficulties are clean. Just had a doctor here tel me that ALS isn’t always picked up at every stage of the disease. I was not breathing good already when I had the EMG a few months ago. Would an EMG of just legs and arms find the issues that are in my ribs and diaphragm ? Or would I need to get an EMG specifically on that area? Thank you
