The most common causes of dyspnea are not neuromuscular, but rather cardiac and pulmonary. However, dyspnea is an important and serious manifestation of many neuromuscular disorders, and it may compound an underlying pulmonary or cardiac problem. The diaphragm is a skeletal muscle under the control of a peripheral nerve and may be targeted by inflammatory neuropathies such as Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP), and brachial plexitis or myopathies such as acid maltase deficiency, muscular dystrophy (MD), and neuromuscular disorders such as myasthenia gravis (MG). Periodic measurement of pulmonary function is a recommended measure in neuromuscular clinics.
