Members rallied around someone asking what to do when Parkinson's symptoms worsen after a hospital stay for congestive heart failure, with the most consistent advice being to contact both a neurologist and a cardiologist as soon as possible. Several members shared that hospitalizations and surgeries can temporarily worsen symptoms, possibly due to anesthesia or medication changes, and emphasized making sure all doctors have access to the same records. A recurring theme was emotional solidarity, with members offering prayers, encouragement, and personal stories of navigating similar frustrating experiences with their medical teams.

Ok...I agree 👍 with everyone that both your doctors need to be on the same page. Truth be told, I would be under my bed in the fetal position balling m1y eyes out....whoops, no that was me yesterday....never mind.
Yes, you should definitely get with your doctors and make sure they all have your records!!+
AND...WHAT HAVE WE LEARNED?....
I hate Parkinson's, here and there. I hate Parkinson's EVERYWHERE 💩

I'd say see your neurologist.

Talk to your neurologist. Hospitalization and surgeries can have a short term effect on symptoms. For surgery, it is the side effects of anesthesia.. stay strong - you've got this. 🤗
