Sudden drop in body temperature

[Sydney75]

Hi! My HWP has been experiencing some strange symptoms. Recently his body temp dropped to 95.6 and his BP has 200/120. We were at a soccer field watching grandkids play, and he could barely keep himself upright to walk to the car. It was very scary. Cardiologist gave me ER BP meds which helped and he used the emergency Inbrija inhaler. We warmed him with blankets and tea too. Trying to figure out why this would happen. He did pool exercise at end of his Rytary dose and was overtired when he started, but took regular dose on time, I am wondering if he depleted himself too much and could not recover equilibrium. He did feel this coming on (lightheaded and weakness in legs). He does have chronic pain from failed back surgeries, cycling off of Horizant as it seems to have more side effects than gabapentin.

I double checked all his supplements to make sure this was not a side effect of any of them.

Has anyone else had this sudden drop in body temperature?

Thanks,

-Syd

J'ai tendance à avoir plus froid que la normale

I have been contending with hypothermia since 1989 long before I was diagnosed with PD although I now believe it to have been an early symptom. 20 percent of attendees at one support group meeting I attended said they had a sinlmular problem. I was always cold even though I overdressed and drank hot tea all the time. I felt as if I were always at the edge of a cliff and when I fell off I had an attack that made my whole body shiver, confused my mind and in some cases prevented me from walking.

When it happens I cannot move unless I am wrapped tightly in a comforter. I try to lie in bed under two comforters while my wife brings mugs of hot tea one after another it usually takes hours ro recover

The good news is that it is much better I don’t have to overdress all the time and I don’t feel cold all the time I can still have an attack especially while sleeping but it is much easier to manage and they ar few and far bewtee

Thyroid replacement (even though my TSH was normal) using both T3 and T4 was helpful but mostly I just lived through it. I can still have an attack esp at night when I am not fully covered in bed but it is much lesser severe ng
