Hi Budsey,

It's important that you go see your GP as soon as possible since chest pain could be from a number of things.

I have same problem. Put it down to gallstones ?

Hi Zatopec,

I would also recommend that you're having chest pain you go see your GP as soon as possible as well - much better to confirm what it is instead of guessing!

Best wishes to you,

Hi sorry for very late response I am new to this forum and PD.  I expected to receive a email if I received any post.

 

Thank you Alethea for your reply -  have since discovered I have a sensitive Esophagus causing the pain which could be anxiety related. 

 

Have another question,  does anyone suffer from very heavy head could this be med related.  Have seen 2 doctors and they seem to think it could also be due to anxiety.

Hi Budsey,

Headaches can occasionally be caused by medication used to treat Parkinson's.
