Members responded with warmth and practical insight to a question about morning vomiting, dry heaving, and sneezing before waking, with the strongest advice being to contact a neurologist first before seeing any other specialist. Several members pointed to medications like carbidopa/levodopa as a possible cause, while others shared helpful information about gastroparesis, a gut condition affecting over 70% of Parkinson's patients that can cause nausea and vomiting. A recurring theme was the importance of reading medication paperwork, keeping drug information organized, and leaning on both the community and faith for strength while navigating these challenges.

I've experienced bouts of sneezing, which is quite troublesome because I wear a nasal CPAP device so my snoring doesn't bother my long-suffering wife. So far, the sneezing hasn't led to vomiting or retching. If it ever does, I'm going to hunt down this Parkinson bastard and kill him slowly and painfully (just joking, of course, on that last bit).

sneezing -
"Rhinorrhea, abnormal nasal discharge, or runny nose are seen in about 20% of patients with Parkinson's disease. It may be more noticeable during or after eating as well as at nighttime leading to awakenings. It may cause post-nasal discharge or coughing or sneezing in many patients."
