Taking Syndopa And Amentrel For Parkinson's Yet Shaking In Left Side, Light Headedness, Flatulence. Why Are These Issues Happening?
First of all diagnosis of parkinsonism is mostly clinical and its clinical features are Mask like face, lack of emotions rigidity or stiffness in body, patient walks with small steps, and has diffculty in startin g or stopping while walking and tremors which are present at rest and pin rolling type. So whichch all of these symptoms your father had at time of diagnosis. Most of the clinicians wait for stiffness to appear before starting the therapy, cause tremors alone are at times difficult to control and if not pronounced are not that debilitating,. Light headed XXXXXXX and flatulence could be side effects of syndopa. Kindly reply back with detailed symptomatology, if your father has only tremor and no other symptoms he may not be having disease at all or early disease only and may not require initiation of treatment. also kindly let me know if any MRI oR CT head was done during or before starting treatment
