Yes, as low as 82/50 . My blood pressures fluctuate that's the problem. Hypotension is not well understood. Increase sodium, take midodrine ,compression socks, and talk with cardiologist. Those are the main points they tell you. Investigate pots. Syndrome

I've had blood pressure issues since I was 18 ,now 62 and with PD it goes up and bottoms out,almost to the point of having to go to the hospital. After years of being on several bld pressure meds ,now it lowers especially at night,have been in hosp and they woke me up because so low,thought I might be dying,I can laugh about it now still alive ,but my cardiologist specialists say it's all because of PD. Infact they are ones encourageing me to use marijuana instead of carpisol levadopa,thinking about it!

Wow that’s good to know, I get so scared because sitting down my husband blood pressure it’s not to bad but as soon he stands up it’s dramatically low it’s scary he never had issues with it before of course Parkinson’s is getting advanced I don’t want to face it,it’s been 29 years
