Yes, some people with Parkinson's disease (PD) experience dizziness or lightheadedness, which can lead to falls. One member shared, “I’m dizzy. Sometimes it lasts a few hours, and sometimes it lasts for days.” Another mentioned, “It happens when I’m sitting or lying down — when I get up to stand, the dizzy spells happen. I have to stand still and hold on to something for a few minutes before they go away.” These symptoms can increase the risk of falling unexpectedly.
