Understand there are so far few articles touch on subject on Breathing with PD patients.There are many types of breathing in which the rhythm, rate or character is abnormal

.Kindly elaborate the types of breathing with some of the PD patients.Breathing is the alternation of active inhalation of air into the lungs through the mouth or nose with the passive exhalation of the air.

As PD patients have stiffness muscles and slowdown movement some PD have reduction in nasal airflow with Breathing. They have cyclical variation in the rate, which becomes slower until breathing stops for several seconds before speeding up to a peak and then slowing again.It occurs when the sensitivity of the respiratory centres in the brain is impaired .Therefore most PD die on pneumatically diseased
