Hi folks. I feel a bit 'weird' lately. I keep feeling very light headed and a bit spacey. When I Google this in relation to Parkinsons it either references this sensation linked to a) meds (which I haven't started yet) or b) Multiple System Atrophy (which I don't think I have as my blood pressure is normal and I have no issues with sexual/urinary functions).
Some friends have suggested stress but this symptom isn't fleeting and is beginning to happen a lot of the time. I've had no falls but do feel myself lurch around to one side at times. Bizarrely, I can stand on either foot for 30 seconds without much difficulty.
I have been on the keto diet for about 2/3 months reasonably consistently and had a pretty high cholesterol reading according to my GP last week. Am wondering if any who've tried keto/c.o oil have had any light headedness and dizziness.
I've been PD symptomatic 8 months and DX one month ago.
Thanks for anyone's input. Much appreciated.

My husband was light headed and felt slightly faint at times. It turned out he was dehydrated. He has had very little trouble since drinking a lot of water each day.
My husband had the same symptoms and he was dehydrated. He actually had blood pressure drops and fell. We adjusted one med to every other day and I encouraged him to drink more water. He's fine now. I sure would bag that diet, however. It can't be helping.
Maybe you should eat some salty foods, like potato chips which are good, if you don't normally and also drink a lot more water as someone else suggested.
