I read on hear a lot of people saying they have breathing problems. I have a rare lung disease diagnosed on 2015. didn't know that breathing problems were part of MS symptoms. my pul-sox can go as low as 71 does anyone else have this problem

I have been told I do not breathe correctly. I am not using my transverse abdominal muscles and my pelvic floor along with my diaphragm to stabilize my body. In other words I am not using my deep inner core muscles to breathe and stabilize. So my PT says I am using my back muscles to try to stabilize which is causing pain and imbalance. They gave me exercises to do but it's slow going. PT says this is common in MS because the brain turns muscles off and you lose the connection to them and can't use them correctly.
I also get VERY short of breath with any exertion. I also have had a barking sounding cough. I am see a pulmonologist tomorrow. We'll keep u informed.
What is your rare lung disease ?
Yes..I have shortness of breath. My Dr. said anything goes with MS!
