balance
I agree that shallow breathing / apnea / etc. is a symptom rather than cause of PD.
I don't have apnea, but I am aware that I frequently hold my breath. I am told this is not only PD related but also anxiety related.
My attempt to deal with this starts on Tuesday when I begin Kripalu yoga classes that emphasize meditation, breathing, and relaxation in connection with yoga poses. I am doing this at the urging of my doctor, a noted movement disorder specialist.
Swimming is also helping me with regulating my breathing.
Seems dealing with PD keeps coming back always and all ways with restoring balance in your mind, body, and life.
