Default medical advice

I'm hoping someone can help steer me in the right direction.

I'm extremely out of breath, after limited activity (walking up two steps), have poor eyesight, and am nauseas. A little while ago, I actually vomited.

I weigh more than I've ever weighed in my life, but this doesn't seem to be "normal". I should tell you that my mother died of an aneurism (at the age of 41) so I''m always on the lookout.

Doing limited research on the internet, I read somewhere that poor eyesight and shortness of breath can be a precurser for lung cancer. Now I did some more research, adding the nausea, and it brought up cardiology.

I've arranged to have a chest x-ray next week but does anyone have any advice that they can give me.

Background information - I have had PD for almost six years, diagnosed at age 43, and just turned 49. Take Mirapex, Artane, Wellbutrin, and Baclofen. Do not take Sinemet.

Thoughts are appreciated!
