Palpitations

[Prairie80]

Are these common with PWP? How do you lessen them?

Do you mean heart palpatations? they are not particularly related to PD. Have you had your heart checked?

[Pelley in reply to arwenmark]

Although I was a much younger 12 years ago when I was diagnosed with PD, I believe the natural progression of life has affected me at a different and increasing rate exponentially compared to a "normy". Thats not to say I still want to believe I'm a normal person with this minor neuro-muscular blip in my personal radar of life.

You should have you heart checked out by a cardio specialist. Be aware that PD itself is a neuro muscular as well as a cognitive aggressor. Age and lack of physical activity limited (not an excuse) by PD can also weigh in on this situation.

There is also evidence of prolonged Sinimet use causing everything from focusing problems to palpitations. Being careful and using common sense has to enter into our lives no differently than the "normies". (People trying to blame their hang nail on PD here)

Wouldn't it be great to finds a Cardiologist with a Neurology background.... yeah...thats it .... find a Neurocardiologist. Good luck
