It may not really be a breathing problem but a blood pressure problem, which could be a side effect of his medications. With some meds, when you stand up, your blood pressure drops. It can be enough to cause fainting and, of course, the risk of physical injury. (The tecnical name for this is postural hypotension.) In addition to the breathing exercises, be sure to discuss the problem with his doctors. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Barbara" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Wednesday, September 14, 2005 5:16 AM Subject: Re: World Parkinson's Congress - Call for Creativ Arts Hi Peggy Just wondering if you can give me some information please. I live in Perth Western Australia. My Father aged 81 years, has Parkinson's. The biggest worry he is having is about his breathing. When he stand up from sitting he becomes very short of breath and thinks he is going to die. He asked me to find the breathing exercises devised by Abraham Lieberman. Do you have any idea where I could get these exercises for him? I would appreciate some information. Thank goodness this communication is possible.
