Lingley Asked January 2018

Blood pressure highs and lows and cough what is the stage and prognosis?

I think that BP issues are a side effect of the levadopa, tho I'm not sure. Something to be watched carefully due to dizzyness, which does seem to be a common problem. As for the cough, again something rather common, but need to be aware of any aspiration as it could be a sign of pneumonia. My understanding is that dr's don't like to stage, and now I get it. With my dad, everything could change in a day.

Lingley, questions like this you really MUST put to your husband's primary care doctor. His doctor won't be able to give you black and white, 1-2-3 answers because things are almost never that simple; but if you ask "what is happening and what should we expect?" you are entitled to a clear explanation based on your husband's personal medical history - as opposed to the wild guesses you're likely to get on the internet.
