PwP and who suffered 2 heart attacks

I wanted to reach out and ask if there are other members who suffer PD and who have cardiovascular issues.

Im 52 years old, just diagnosed with PD 2 years ago and just last July 2018 I had 2 heart attacks which resulted in a stent implant and this Feb 2019 I will have a second stent.

Is there anyone out there who have undergone the same issues as I have and what treatments have they gotten or what health programs do they do

I have several interrelated pathologies. PD, severe postprandial hypotension, and problems with cervical vertebrae.

After an episode in mid-March 2018, a visit to emergency facility documented atrial fibrillation and "minor" heart damage.

I am PIGD and have fallen many times, three requiring medical attention - including a broken hip.

Syncope in my pph episodes may have been augmented by my heart glitches.

Had quadruple bypass surgery in 2003, lived a glorious life from then until 2017 when just walking through a doorway became literally a paralyzing experience. As an observer, it's remarkable how different the reactions are to this worrisome condition; some people pull or push you through the door or just stop suddenly and stare or speak impatiently. Learning to cope with these reactions or better still to anticipate them is quite an exciting learning experience. Oh, my heart. Be still !
