Parkinson’s unresponsive episodes

@farmerleebs, I wonder if hypotension or very low blood pressure may be causing the unresponsive episodes. See this article that @judithanne references earlier in this discussion:

Is it possible that her blood pressure is low, but by the time she is seen by a professional her blood pressure has recovered? Do you have a home blood pressure monitor?

I will certainly look in to this. She is at a care home for which I go to see her, now 4 times a week because of COVID. I am going to get them to check her blood pressure more often. Thank you!
