Respiratory dyskinesia, which involves involuntary lung movements, can indeed make breathing difficult. Here are some key points to consider:

- Consistency with Medication: Staying consistent with your Parkinson’s disease treatment plan can help minimize motor fluctuations that affect breathing.
- Levodopa: Studies show that people with Parkinson’s who stay on levodopa have fewer respiratory problems. However, levodopa can also cause respiratory dyskinesia when it reaches its maximum effect.
- Medication Adjustment: If your medication causes respiratory dyskinesia, your doctor may consider adjusting your dose to find the right balance.

Consult your healthcare team to manage these symptoms effectively.
