Suggest Treatment For Breathlessness In Old Age

My husband was recently diagnosed with Myasthenia Gravis. Soon after he started on medications , he had a crisis. Could not breathe, was put in ICU, intubated, given IVIG INFUSIONS . We thought this would make him better but he is no longer able to move around without getting very winded. His oxygen level goes way down. They tell him to go to ER, he won t, now can t do anything but sit in a chair. He is 73, has always been active,was a welder before retirement. Do you know what he can do to get better?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, what the history is given here I could say that your husband may be in need of some moral support now with some rehabilitation program he can be tried with some extra vitamin supplement too, else nothing much can be done at this level without hospitalization hope this information helps.
I find this answer helpful
