Body balance concerns.

My head feels light at times and other times when standing from a setting position it's easy to lose balance. My hands are becoming more stiff since starting sinement 4 months ago. Also it feels like a cloud inside my head preventing deep thinking.

Can anyone related to my concerns? sinement 25-100 3 times daily

Only a suggestion but sounds as though your blood pressure is low , you need to get this checked x

Carrigan is correct. Sounds like orthostatic hypotension... blood pressure drops when standing up. Discuss with your Doc. Till then stand up sloiwly and don't walk away till you feel steady.

Yes Orthostatic Hypotention which is not particularly dangerous (unless extreme case) in except for the increased risk of falling after you stand and before the heart catches up and starts pumping a bit faster. Hence etterus's advice to not walk away until steady.

I have this problem, and my Nero told me to move my feet around before standing. I found this helped but understand this is also a part of PD
