Parkinson's disease primarily affects the nervous system, but it can also impact lung function indirectly. People with Parkinson's may experience respiratory issues due to weakened muscles involved in breathing, reduced mobility, and difficulties with swallowing, which can lead to aspiration and respiratory infections. Additionally, the disease can affect the brain's ability to regulate automatic functions, including those necessary for effective breathing. This combination can result in compromised lung capacity and overall respiratory health.
