Many of us who have Parkinson’s Disease suffer from orthostatic hypotension, when your blood pressure drops when you stand up. In my case it can also drop when I eat a large meal when too much blood goes to my abdomen to help with digestion.

Hi everyone. I do have high blood pressure and take medication for it. Just another pill to the ever growing pile I take everyday. I am trying to find a little humor in this PD world I live all the time. Hey I am here by the grace of God and for the last year have been in the best physical shape I could never imagine. No tremors, no nightmares, and no hallucinations. Happy holidays everyone.

Low blood pressure is an issue. I had several falls and fainting from it. One can really hurt themselves by falling, fainting and hitting the floor and other items around them. I have had two concussions and too many muscular- skeletal injuries to count. This is definitely something you would share with your doctor, ASAP. Hope this helps. Stay safe.

My hubby has always had high blood pressure and takes medication-2. His blood pressure now stays low but not too low.
