Hi

Anyone got high blood pressure and take medication for Parkinson’s?

I’ve been on meds for high BP for years, but not on any Parkinson’s meds at the moment but wondering if they help with blood pressure. I know Parkinson’s can affect the involuntary systems such as blood pressure. My BP has been slowly rising and I’m reluctant to add more meds.

Hi ANNE29 - What a coincidence me too. I’ve always had high blood pressure then when I started on Parkinsons meds my BP lowered, amazing or what

Great to see that you’ve already received some responses to your questions. Don’t forget you can always give our helpline a call and speak to one of advisers about this. They have a wealth of knowledge on medication related to Parkinson’s so they can offer you information on this.

Feel free to give them a call 0808 800 0303.

Hope this helps!
