    My sister has orthostatic hypotension and dizziness which got much worse after coming down with COVID. Are there meds to help? Or could it be due to the Paxlovid she is taking for COVID?

    Ruth I too have bouts of orthostatic hypotension and dizziness.  After testing positive for covid my blood pressure dropped and I experienced more dizziness than usual.  I did not take Paxlovid.

    I contacted my neurologist and was told it wasn’t unusual for PD symptoms to be exacerbated.  They suggested that I monitor my symptoms and see if they subsided in 3 to 4 weeks.
