For me, low blood pressure and heart issues (overly fast heartbeat). Seeing a cardiologist for these things. May the Lord give us strength and joy until we see Him.

I am 90 years old and this low blood pressure thing is a problem for me so I understand your situation. I will pray to God to help you with this symptom

I have found that drinking at least 32 ounces of a mixture of Liquid IV and flavored (no sugar) soda water every day helps keep my blood pressure up.

What health problems are you experiencing with Parkinson's?

Living with Parkinson's for four years can bring various challenges, and it's completely understandable to feel overwhelmed. Many people with Parkinson's deal with multiple symptoms that can affect daily life.

Common health issues that often come with Parkinson's include:

• Motor symptoms like tremors, stiffness, and balance problems
• Pain from muscle spasms or changes in posture
• Bathroom issues such as constipation or frequent urination
• Fatigue and sleep disturbances
• Sexual problems
• Mood changes

Each person's experience with Parkinson's is different - symptoms vary widely from one person to another. A MyParkinsonsTeam member who's had Parkinson's for over 20 years describes it as "a daily battle" where some days are better than others, emphasizing the importance of staying active and fighting back.

The good news is that many of these problems can be managed with the right treatment plan. Working closely with your healthcare team to address each symptom is key. Physical therapy, medication adjustments, exercise, and dietary changes can all help improve quality of life.
