Teresa I will post again when I get the results of the biopsy on Monday. My labs have been all over the place so as a result Friday I did have a CT calcium coronary Score test which added another area they will be working on. I now have Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD)What they are recommending to help with this I am mostly doing for Parkinson's the diet and exercise but I will probably be sent for stress tests and a coronary angiogram I am already set for an echo and heart monitor. I guess with my low blood pressure causing me to pass out may have saved my life so they can treat me for this new condition. Have you dealt with any of these symptoms?

I'm looking forward to hearing about the results of the biopsy. Will you post an update when it's convenient?

I have dealt with terrible vertigo, which affects my balance and increases my risk of falls. I've been involved in exercise programs that help with balance, mainly online exercise classes. Tai Chi has been proven to be very effective for Parkinson's. I subscribed to many of the free YouTube channels that offer PD exercises.
I have had heart stress tests (nuclear tests) to determine heart function and, of course, echocardiograms twice a year (I have heart valve damage from childhood Rheumatic Fever). There is a lot to consider, isn't there?
