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 Anne Rutherford 17/63 [log in to unmask]
