Hello,
If your physician has written the diagnosis of acromegaly, there is no need to write more details. Anyway, difficulty in breathing, joint pains, muscle weakness, sleep apnea are some of the symptoms you can describe.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Mirjeta Guni, Endocrinologist
