Can u  please should ur doctor/MD the email u just posted. Did this
start before u started  PD drugs or after?  Have they done postional
BP/HR readings? Has someone taken them in ur home to show ur doctor?
Keep a log as to when this is happening and tell ur doctor/MD.   How
much water do u drink THROUGHOUT the day ?  How many meals AND snacks do
u eat per day?

I was a stupid patient at least once, and I drank gingseng tea . I thght
I was thinking , but apparently I wasn't. I got horrific headaches and I
could see one of my veins/arteries pulsating.  I called my cardiologist
who was not pleased and made it clear to ASK before taking any herbal
anything.  I never had a heart attack. I don't have regular PD.
