hi, i'm a caregiver. i have a patient who has parkinson's for 19 years. she cannot walk, she is confined to a wheelchair for 5 years now. she had a hip replacement and a knee replacement. she has about 40 pills a day. now, she has trouble breathing especially during the night. i am worried because it's been happening more lately. she suspects that it is COPD but i'm not convinced. would anyone know if there is a connection between PD and COPD? thanks.
