Good morning! I have been having a bout of hypotension the past 2 weeks. My movement specialist doctor is aware, and I've been working with my PCP closely. I'm monitoring my blood pressure for the next 3 weeks and taking sodium tablets. My question is my left arm which is my good arm is lower than my right arm my tremor arm. This morning my left was 86/67, and my right was 96/67. Is this normal for Parkinson's? I'm concerned that it might be a blockage because of course I'm googling and getting worried LOL

It seems that the information on this is not very consistent:

is your movement specialist in Pittsburgh? if so, and you like them, would you mind sharing the name? thank you.
I used to see Dr Susan baser, but she retired in December. I now go to doctor Austin oblackExcela health neurology, medical Commons 2, 540 South Street, suite 301, Greensburg 15601. His phone number is 724 261-5610. It's worth the 35 minute drive, I think he's wonderful! I tried to get an appointment at agh with Dr licklighter, but he's scheduling in September. I haven't tried anybody with UPMC, not sure if there is one there
