Best Answer

Dementia or Alzheimers probably doesn't affect your breathing. The reason is that in every human there is a switch in a certain gene that automatically sends nerve impulses to the respiration muscles in order for you to breathe. This is entirely natural and has nothing to do with memory. Even if you tried to hold your breath until you died, your body's survival system will respond when at its peak and you'll automatically gasp for breath. That is not of decision, it is of instinct. So diseases like Dementia only affect acquired memory. Breathing is completely different.
