neupro causes chestpain/tension

[snorre]

Hello

I*m from Norway and have problems with chestpain / tension:Have had parkinson for about 8 years now and my medication is 10mg eldepryl and 25/100 sinemeth 4xday.

After stopping with Neupro (or any other dopamin agonists) my problem with chestpain is almost history.

Has anyone experienced the same problem and know the reason?

Something like your problem. I have horrible chest pains that are worse at the end of

the xyphoid process. Sometimes the pain will travel up to my chest and sometimes

down in my abdomen. I have tried a lot of doctors who have tried lots of things but I

still suffer with it now for a long time. I am on my regular Parkinson's meds round the

clock. Cab/Levo main medication and I take a few others. Nothing seems to help

but therphy. Sometimes it is so painful I have to lay down with my head on two small

pillows. Hope others do not ths problem along with Parkinson's. ~~ Dennis

Hei Dennis

As i said my problem was caused (95%) by dopamine agonist (neupro or any others).

Further more i had to stop completly.Redusing the dose (2mg) didnt help.

Throughout the years all dopamine agonists have been confirmed to cause heart problems. I got permanent heart arrhythmia with the smallest dosage of Mirapex (2002) and recently aa cardioligist decided to give me diltiazem to ptevent a requip induced heart problem because I was still having chest pains despite reducing it from 12 mg/day to only 2 mg/day..

Best regards,

Eduardo

good grief, I hope you went off the requip! Requip made me so sick in so many ways.

Great feedback on the anxiety and energy question. I am doing Thi Chi 3 times a week and it helps a little. Takes me a long, long, long time to recover energy from 1 hour class. Can't wait to try some of your suggestions. Tks.
