Hi all, I have been lurking the past few months and gathering information. My father has been diagnosed with early stages PD,no meds yet.He is currently in hospital because of not being able to get his breath. Any time he exerts himself-walks across room he gives out of breath and has to use the nebulizer and several inhailants.He has emphazema sp?. Now the drs are wanting him to see PD specialist for his shaking and breathing. Please tell me what effects PD has on a persons breathing???????I need some help with this,please. SYLVIA R. SC
