Hello!
Welcome to Ask a Doctor service!
I passed carefully through your question and would explain that your symptoms could be related to low pulmonary function.
For this reason, I would recommend performing pulmonary function tests in order to be sure that everything is OK.
Considering your the muscular dystrophy, I would also recommend performing a resting ECG and a cardiac ultrasound. Periodical follow up with cardiac ultrasound, resting and pulmonary function tests every year is recommendable in your clinical situation.
Hope to have been helpful!
I remain at your disposal for any further questions whenever you need!
Wishing good health,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist

Hello again!
Your PO2 is not too low, considering the normal ranges are above 80. But, I think that these values are quite variable.
Anyway, usually in patients with muscular dystrophy, lung disorders are usually associated to high PCO2 levels , which increase first.
For this reason, a lung X ray study and pulmonary function tests are necessary.
You should discuss with your doctor on the above tests.
Wishing all the best,
Dr. Iliri
