Stridor

[Xxtaffettaxx]

My husband with MSA has developed a wheezing noise when he breaths out ?stridor. He also suffers with breathlessness. Can anyone share experience with this? Should I be worried? Thanks so much

hi there. This is one of our major ailments with this condition coupled with chest infections.

We found an inhaler (ventolin) helps and also we are using a gadget that helps blow air into the lung so he gets a bigger breath.

Hello. Whilst Jackie hasn't experienced Stridor it's something we have talked about with our physio. There's a page on the MSA Trust web site that talks about breathing difficulties and that states "If you have stridor then you should inform your GP/ Consultant to get an urgent respiratory assessment at the hospital. There are treatment options and these needs to be discussed with you to decide what option is acceptable to you." The full item can be found here: msatrust.org.uk/support-for...

Good luck and we hope you get the support you need. Take care, Ian
