About your vision problems, have you seen a neuro-ophthalmologist? Vision changes can occur as a result of Parkinson's itself. Less than a month after my PD dx, I had blurry vision, trouble tracking evenly across lines of text, and a (eye) gland infection. The doc told me he could have told me I had PD from examining my eyes! One common thing is called convergence insufficiency, in which the eyes don't work together properly. I just needed a separate Rx for reading glasses. I think shortness of breath also may be a sx of PD, perhaps from the fatigue, or anxiety, or decreased physical activity. I also agree that you should see your PCP. Hope this helps...feel better!
