Started Carbidopa/Levodopa Today
Parkinson's Disease | Last Active: May 3 8:43pm | Replies (47)Comment receiving replies
I have been taking carob/levo for over a year and take it three times a day. As the meds start to “sunset” and the new ones start to take effect, in addition for my tremor starting up , I have a dull sensation in my right ear, a headache and start to yawn ..sometimes for as long as 20 min. Then I often cough for a few minutes. This is very unpleasant as well as exhausting. What is causing this? Is it normal? I always drink plenty of water and try to just keep moving or doing something.

How are things going with your Parkinson's medications, @bromy?

Hello @bromy and welcome to the PD support group on Mayo Connect. From what you indicated it sounds like this is a new symptom for you. Is this correct? Perhaps one of our other members will share with you, however, this is nothing that I have experienced. As Mayo Connect is a patient to patient support group we cannot diagnose problems, just share our experiences.
As this problem is recent, it might be a good idea to contact your doctor's office through the patient portal or by phone and let them know about this. Have you seen your neurologist recently for an evaluation?
