I have Parkinsons and sometimes I have pain after taking medication or supplements. Sometimes after regular bland food, no pain. Orange juice seems to cause most of it. No chest heaviness or breathing problems. No nausea or vomiting. Bowels O.K. Only had severe pain a few times and not every day. Blood pressure good.
