short breath muscle movement
Shortness of breath results from a combination of chest wall rigidity and abnormal, drug-induced muscle movement.
I have gone through CT Chest and Lung XR and confirmed I have short of breath caused by Parkinson's.
My medications daily are as follows:
9 dosages Prednisolone (Stiroid)
1 " Nexium 40mg (gastric)
Kindly comment
Regards

Dear Doctor,
Just to be informed I have shortness of breath as shown in my CT Scan. Besides I have inflammation around the lungs.
Question:
Can shortness of breath lower your normal blood pressure or vice versa?
Shortness of breath causes less oxygen,dizziness,black out,unstable on foot,"drunken crowd"
Besides steriod for inflammation are any medication more effective?
Exercise relief you for shortness of breath,depression /anxiety vice versa
Merry christmas

Please get better soon and our prayers are with you.
This is a PD only website so we will defer these questions to your general doctor.
You have asked before about shortness of breath and PD, and it can occur most commonly when wearing off PD medications.

Druken Crowd
Druken Crowd
Posted on December 17th, 2010 by heroteo
I think I may need to clarify my situation because the actual chain of events may not be clearly stated out in my last post.
There are three separate incidents prior to my experience of “drunken crowd”. Firstly, I went under a procedure called Procedure for Prolapse and Hemorrhoids to remove my piles. After the surgery, I noticed that my level of energy and movement were affected. During the surgical procedure, I was given an injection through my spine. After my surgical procedure, I consulted my Parkinson’s physician, who then substituted Sinemet with Stalevo as stated in my previous post. The following day, I went to my physiotherapist for heat treatment to my neck and upper body, because I suffer from stiffness of the neck. A heated cloth/mask was applied to my neck region. It was after the treatment, I suffered from “drunken crowd”.
Given the clarification above, I would be very helpful for your explanation on the following :-
(a) Is Stalevo been known to have side effects, particularly on the Comptan portion of it?
(b) By applying heat treatment to my neck region, could it have affected my nerves or affected the dopamine level in my brains?
Could Procedure for Prolapse and Hemorrhoi have caused my experience of “drunken crowd”?
Best regards

Given that you worsened after a medication change you should contact your doctor. There are many potential reasons for worsening and it could be as simple as a dose issue, but it could also be a side effect. You need an in person look by someone who knows you.

stalevo
Recently my sinemet CR was substituted by my doctor with Stalevo 100gm.
My medication are Requip 4mg, sinement regular 4 , Stalevo 100 X 4 and 5 mg Jumax daily.I started with 1/2 Stalevo 100 three times daily and later was increased to 4 X 100mg on the third day.
.
I started "Druken Crowd" on the fourth days as I was light-headed,short of breath and unable to move steadily or stand up with my foot alone.
Luckly my wife was behind to support me by putting me in the moving trolley chair.
Questions:
Is it overdose?
Is Stalevo suitable for me?
Is it side effect on Stalevo and entacapone?
Kindly elaborate
Regard

Hard to say. Could be under-dosed, overdosed, or just that you don't do well with Comtan. You and your neurologist will need to carefully sort this out. Good luck.
