Neurologist 's  Response
Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

It is unlikely that your heart symptoms are related to Parkinsonism.

Also, memory impairment, Bladder and bowel dysfunction, etc are not a prominent feature in early stages of Parkinson's disease (PD). However, these symptoms occur earlier in PD mimics such as multiple system atrophy (MSA).

Please consult a neurologist for correct diagnosis and treatment plans.

Best wishes,
Dr Sudhir Kumar MD DM (Neurology)
Senior Consultant Neurologist
