About 3 times a week my husband feels like he is going to pass out when he is doing something and has to quickly sit down until it passes. Does this happen to anyone else? Is it common for individuals with Parkinson's? Thanks for your response.

The fainting may come from the medication. I take C/L(5xs a day and Entacapone.1/2 tablet 4xs a day. Not only do I get fainting spells when I stand, however I get fainting spells from time-to-time even while I'm sitting.

I believe that it is called postural hypotension.

I found that low blood pressure can make me feel faint. To counter this I drink about 60 oz of water or sports drink a day. I have found this to help me. Good luck!

Medication and Parkinson's can bring this on. I medicate myself around-the-clock every 3 hours but sometimes sleep through a dose so I'm really off...you really have to pay attention to your body and the changes from medication and Parkinson's.
