What Causes Sweating And Nausea After Having Food?

My friend is now taking carbodopa-levodopa for his Parkinsons, and he took a pill about 45 min ago. We then had breakfast, eggs and toast and then he ate a rather elderly banana, and then all of a sudden looked pale, sweaty and didn t feel good. Also nervous jingling in one arm--. Also nauseated and felt like throwing up, but hasn t yet. Has now fallen asleep in his chair. He is 81 years old, has had a pacemaker for 8 years or so, and is in otherwise good health. Should I just let him sleep, --or think aoout calling a doctor--he is visiting me in Wisc. and his own doctor is in Illiois. I a an R.N.
