A message for David and others taking bromocriptine( Parlodel)or pergolide
(Permax)
Shortnesss of breath should be discussed with your doctor as it may be an
indication of something serious------although in PWP it is usually due to
deterioration of the muscles used in breathing.
BUT
In rare cases Parlodel/ Permax can cause  a lung 'condition' which can
beseen in a chest X-ray. If this occurs the dopamine agonist should be
stopped and the lungs recover.
Breathing exercises, massage and a regular fitness program will help you
maintain lung function.
Hope this helps
