Yes, some people with Parkinson's disease experience respiratory dyskinesia, which involves involuntary lung movements causing rapid, shallow, and irregular breathing. This can be related to muscle spasms or tremors. Staying consistent with Parkinson's medication, like levodopa, can help minimize these motor fluctuations. However, respiratory dyskinesia can also occur as a side effect when levodopa reaches its maximum effect. Adjusting medication with your healthcare provider may help manage these symptoms.
