Yes, nausea is common with Parkinson's disease. It's one of several gastrointestinal symptoms that many people with PD experience.

Nausea can occur because Parkinson's affects the autonomic nervous system, which controls the muscles in your digestive tract. This can lead to various digestive issues including:
