I too have a shortness of breath if I walk too fast but I can do an hour's exercise and don't have the same reaction. I am going for a chest X-Ray on Monday. So fingers crossed.

Before I was diagnosed with PD 2 yrs ago, I started having mysterious breathing issues. My Pulmonologist is stumped. He decided that putting me on Spiriva an inhaler, and nocturnal oxygen. This was 3 years ago. So far it seems like I am somewhat stable. I haven't gotten any worse anyway. Neither my Pulmonologist or my Neurologist can say for sure if this is due to my PD. So it's interesting to hear that other PD patients are having similar issues. 🤔

Hi Well I have had 3 chest x-rays to date and they have found nothing. A couple of years ago I had the whole works, ECG Chest x-rays, ultra sound and they found nothing. My Nurse Clinition says I am a woman of mystery. The up shot is we are trying a preventative inhaler. It does work most of the time but the odd time it doesn't. So the thought is it could be Asthma.

Wishing everyone a wonderful and peaceful Christmas.

I notice I get very short of breath reading a long page out loud rapidly with members of my church.
