Yes, excessive sweating and temperature regulation can affect how Parkinson's medications work in your body. Some studies have found that certain Parkinson's medications may not be as effective at regulating body temperature, which can impact how you feel, especially during or after physical activity in warm weather. To help manage this situation while staying active:
- Stay well hydrated before, during, and after exercise
- Consider playing golf during cooler parts of the day
- Take regular breaks to cool down
- Talk to your doctor about adjusting your medication timing or dosage to better accommodate your activity schedule

It's important to maintain physical activity, but you may need to modify your routine based on weather conditions and how your body responds.
