Did this start before u started PD drugs or after? Have they done postional BP/HR readings? Has someone taken them in ur home to show ur doctor? Keep a log as to when this is happening and tell ur doctor/MD. How much water do u drink THROUGHOUT the day ? How many meals AND snacks do u eat per day? I was a stupid patient at least once, and I drank gingseng tea . I thght I was thinking , but apparently I wasn't. I got horrific headaches and I could see one of my veins/arteries pulsating. I called my cardiologist who was not pleased and made it clear to ASK before taking any herbal anything. I never had a heart attack. I don't have regular PD. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
