Hello and Welcome to 'Ask A Doctor' service...
I've gone through your query in details...
I can understand your concern...

If you've got your cardiac check-up done recently, then I wouldn't be too worried about it. However, considering your age, if a detailed cardiac workup isn't done recently, then I'd recommend getting a 12 lead EKG, 2D-Echocardiogram and a stress test along with a Thyroid function test for complete evaluation.

If the results are satisfactory, then we can safely attribute this to one of those many autonomic dysfunctions of parkinsonism (not likely to be due to Levodopa/Carbidopa though).

Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take Care
Kind Regards
