Will Taking Narcolepsy Help In Shortness Of Breath Problem?
Hello, I have shortness of breath all the time so my doctor is running a bunch test on me come to find out I m a A-type narcolepsy. I have been taking 2 inhalers to help and now he has me taking nuvigil which is great I m not tired anymore but it has made my SHORTNESS OF BREATH worse. Will it get better?
I understand your concern and would recommend performing pulmonary function tests to investigate for a possible lung disorder or obstruction, which can coexist with narcolepsy.
A cardiac ultrasound is also necessary to examine your heart function and structure.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!

Dr. Iliri
