hi all. just trying to get a handle on our symptoms as they currently stand. Hospice comes out twice a week now. I have noticed though that my husband is experiencing more episodes of shortness of breath. It used to just be after he ate. Now it is more frequent throughout the day. He does have a bipap that he uses at night. I have been trying to get him to use it during the day too.
So, I have a question. Is the increasing SOB because his diaphragm and breathing muscles are continuing to become paralyzed? Or, is there some other cause?
My gut says it is disease progression. But my heart wonders if there is something else that can be done.
I appreciate the feedback.
Love and light
Meg
