Parkinson’s unresponsive episodes

Yes, they do. He also is on some Dash recipes like turkey chili. He loves it as well as spaghetti and meatballs. Non gmo and plant based. He loves air fried sweet potatoes fries..so do I. He would eat every 2 hrs if he could . I also give him a protein drink that I mix with skim milk instead of water. He is stubborn sometimes. But so am I. As long as am on this planet he will get the best care and feel love and yes the occasional argument. I won't let him do anything in the kitchen. He does things that are not safe. I probably will purchase the utensils that will help when he eats. He has a bed that is lower and I taught how to use his hands on his legs to help get up. He does well with it. I cry when needed. Mainly because I am losing him little by little. Breaks my heart. 🫂 ❤️

Hello everyone, My mom has these episodes too and I just came across this article. She has gone anywhere from 5 -45 minutes of unresponsiveness, and her Blood pressure is all over (high and low). After reading this article (Cognitive fluctuations in Parkinson’s disease dementia: blood pressure lability as an underlying mechanism), we are going to try this: basically, lying them flat and elevate the legs during the episode. The Physician who last saw her also suggested coban wraps (compression stockings) and had also heard of a pt who wore Nitroglycerin patch at night (removed early am) and this helped with the swings in blood pressure.
