Is Chronic Bronchitis And Cervical Dystonia Interrelated?

I have chronic bronchitis and also cervical dystonia. Are they linked? I am 57. Have had cervical dystonia since I was 45. I know it is a neurological problem. I have Botox every 8 weeks. It seems like whenever I become exhausted the bronchitis shows up. I'm female, 5'2".
