Blackouts & PD
 
  The most common cause of blackout is hypotension.. low blood
pressure,,,,Orthostatic in particular which is occasioned by standing too
rapidly. Sinemet & eldepryl both list hypotension as likely side effects &
hypotension can go with PD by itself.
  Blackouts usually last very short periods of time, but may seem quite
long.... I passed out in December (blackout) and was out maybe 5 seconds but
I could have been out a half hour for all I knew.
