Had Parkinson's Disease, Low BP, Slow Heart Rate. What Can Be Expected?
My father is 94 years old, has had Parkinson's for 2.5 years, and now is experiencing low bp (96/60 today at the neurologist's office), and slow heart rate (as low as 44; usually in the low-mid 50's). His doctor authorized hospice for him today. I could not ask in my father's presence, but what can I expect now? Are we looking at a plateau of these heart issues, or does this usually mean he's on the downhill slide? I'd like to prepare the rest of my family. Thank you.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
Your father almost 94 years old and now he is having all kinds of geriatric problems which are very uncertain and unpredictable but we can not avoid the truth, looking to his age every single day should be consider as judgment day, every month of his life would be his long life, that he may remains with us forever, take good care of your father, bye.
