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.

I am scheduled for a virtual visit with her in a couple of weeks. I am anxious to see what she suggests.

Toni, I was interested in your comment about foods that you eat when nauseous. I have been experiencing nausea since starting sinemet. I am currently on 25/100 3x a day and carbidopa(25 mg) 2x a day supposedly to help the nausea but it doesn’t seem to be helping. I also have been experiencing orthostatic hypotension which I understand can be a side effect of levodopa. Symptoms seem to improve some by late afternoon/evening.
