I am wondering if others have had problems with low blood pressure, which may
be increased with use of Sinemet?  Peter (age 76, diag. 6 yrs.) has twice
blacked out and fallen--no other reason than low blood pressure was found. He
is also exhausted much of the time, not unusual with PD. He has been told to
increase salt intake, and not to worry about edema in feet (so long as it
doesn't go above ankles) because it is "dependent" type, due to inactivity.
Have others found a way to deal with the blackouts? There seems to be no
warning and no treatment!. Suggestions?  Camilla Flintermann,Oxford,OH  please
