I have had some very alarming symptoms and I was wandering if anyone suffering with Parkinsons has had them?
A few weeks ago I became very disorientated and lost my balance. The room startedspinning and my blood pressure skyrocketed.
These symtoms havent stopped but something more alarming is when I sleep I get "Invisable tremors" ... they are not localized but rather spread throughout my whole body.
The best way I can describe it is that its like getting constant low level electric shocks in your body ... but they are not outwardly visable ... I only feel them in my body.

What medications are you taking? What was your blood pressure? You need to measure your blood pressure both standing and lying down to check for orthostatic hypotension and supine hypertension.
Tiny crystals, or ear rocks, or "otoliths" in the inner ear help us to balance. But when these pebbles fall into the sensitive ear canal, they can cause dizziness. Doctors say that for most people, a very specific 15-minute exercise can help move these pebbles back where they came.
In my case it went away after a good night sleep.
High BP may be linked to the stress of this episode.
Thank you for your post. I have been experiencing many odd events. I am dizzy most of the time, I wake up and can't get off my bed but once my feet make it to the floor I can walk. I also felt ok the other day and the next thing I knew I had fallen, ripped my pant and skinned my knee. I feel foggy headed, and have bad headaches but my blood pressure has been ok. Sometimes I just start shaking all over. I am going thru radiation treatment for Cancerr. It .makes it very hard to know when I need to take my Rytary.
believed that none of the medications were expected to help balance
only balancing exercises, to keep inner ear in tune
I stand on one foot every chance I get (be careful in check line at WalMart, you could accidently pull a bunch of Dentyne on the floor when trying to keep from falling)
I still put my underwear on standing up (next to bed just in case)
My PD started manifesting on my right side
Started brushing my teeth with left hand
was admonished by Becky Farley at Parkinson's Wellness Recovery, use it or lose it
I don't know about the other symptoms, but i suspect the tremors are coming from the psoas muscles. I had those as one of my earliest symptoms. Read more about this at pdrecovery.org
