Always had v low blood pressure till going on PD meds - now it fluctuates a bit, but has very slowly been creeping up, especially since an anticholinergic was added to my regime. After meals and when meds are wearing off it drops. For many years I felt light headed when I stood up suddenly, and the slight increase has benefitted me. I was under the impression that many people with PD had low blood pressure. I often wondered whether this could lead to inadequate brain 'nutrition'. Also whether this and a tendency to dehydration (I have for many years 'forgotten' to drink enough) exacerbated both PD and LBP. I have an impaired sense of thirst that has been an issue for about 15 years.

Interesting how many people have a history of LBP.
