Suggest Treatment For Shortness Of Breath

I am 69-yr old male, diagnosed with Parkinson's. I have recently experienced two new problems that I can't find solutions of answers for: coated tongue, and shortness of breath. Nothing seems to help the former, and the only clue for breathlessness is that it occurs at the start of a Sinemet wearing-off period. Both problems are persistent and are difficult to deal with. Can you help? Thank you.

hi,
hi,
parkinsons generally doesnt cause any short breath..
coated tongue can be due to the medication you are taking now..it is the side effect of many of antibiotics and other drugs..if it is so that wont cause harm so you can leave it
it can also be because of fungal infection..i feel this is the problem with you..try candid oral gel on the tongue this should improve the condition rapidly..
SOB can have various reasons like heart lung or other problems..it needs to be clinically evaluated and investigated further..
hope my answer helped you..

if you have any more queries i would be happy to help you..
