Hello!
Thank you for asking on HCM!
Regarding your concern, I would explain that parkinson disease can cause autonomic dysfunction including these changes in body temperature.
Unfortunately there is no treatment or cure for this disorder.
These symptoms are caused by a progressive degeneration of the brain cells in this region.
I agree with your doctor that heating pads would help relive your symptoms. Avoid staying in fresh or cool places would help too.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Best wishes, Dr. Aida
