The one thing I would like people to know is that the disease can manifest itself in a variety of ways. Some people show tremors, some slowness, and some can have walking issues. The most significant event I would like people to know is that PWP can be nervous about doing a task that is mundane. The source of stress in PWP, can be anxiety over Parkinson symptoms getting worse. We tend to look ahead in a compulsive way.

I for the past 6-7 months, have been experiencing low blood pressure. I was diagnosed with PD 3 years ago at 60yo. I monitor my BP multiple times daily and they are all confusing. When I wake up in the morning I would have BP of 135/88. Two hours later, after taking the 1st dose of Sinemet, it would plunge to 85/68. I passed out once when the BP machine could not read my BP.

I’ve had low readings of 80/58, 83/57 while being conscious and lucid I’ve mentioned this to my PCP and Neurologist and they referred me to a cardiologist, who tested and found heart normal and functioning fine. My question to the good people on these forums is – could this bpp swing be caused by the Sinemet? Just curious. Is anybody not taking Sinemet but experiencing low BP?
