Re: Hypotension
dear nancy
this may or not help you but see if it is possible.
both my husband who has pd and myself his caregiver have had to be
hospitalised this past year him once and i twice for dehydration. our
doctor took all kinds of tests to find trouble. she elimated everything
except dehydration and told me she suspected it from the start but did
check for other cause. although i don't have pd my symptoms were the
same as yours. my doctor told us the change in blood pressure was
what she felt proved it. since jack was hospitalised we have both been
measuring our water intake and are drinking over 64 oz. of water in
addition to other liquids and both have had improvement in feeling
better and much less constipation.our dear kathrynne holden does
explain it well in her book. since we got her book and alrtered
jacks diet as she suggested he is happy to have less constipation i am so
grateful that we got her book it has made my life a lot easier.
give lots of plain water a try. it won't cost anything and certainly
wouldn't hurt. i hope you get to feeling better soon.
love
connie
