What Causes Shortness Of Breath While Suffering From Parkinson S Disease?
I am 65 years old, female diagnosed with Parkinson s Disease. I have been very short of breath, hoarseness in my voice with difficulty swallowing. I also have some mucous that I can cough up. This has been going on about since June 2017. Any ideas?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Your symptoms are concerning for lung issues (like pneumonia, bronchitis) and cardiac issues (including cardiac failure and coronary artery disease). You need to follow up with your primary provider to get an EKG, chest X-ray, echocardiogram and pulmonary function testing done.
Regards
Dr. Lekshmi
