Thank you Hopeful. My husband was on Sinemet and then also on Primidone (for the benign essential tremor). He is now off the Sinemet to see if the tremors become worse (which they have not). He is still on the drug to treat the essential tremor but still has tremors. It's a bit of a mystery what he does or doesn't have. The doctors can't seem to identify anything that causes the head rushes. He also has COPD but the doctors don't think that's contributing to the tremors. It's a real mystery.

How frustrating this must be for you both. I'm sure that these symptoms are uncomfortable. I suppose your husband has been checked for blood pressure and cardiovascular problems? Have you sought a second opinion for your husband's symptoms?

Here is a link to a website that lists all of the Centers of Excellence for Parkinson's treatment, https://www.ninds.nih.gov/Current-Research/Focus-Research/Focus-Parkinsons-Disease/Udall-Centers.

If you live close to one of these centers, this might be a good way to get a second opinion regarding Parkinson's.
