Hello,
Thank you for your question and welcome to Health Care Magic. I read your query and I understand your concern and the anguish that you are having.

Parkinsons can cause headaches or the medication can also cause the headaches. The headache causing the medication occurs because of a side effect. Parkinsons occurs because of imbalance of hormone levels and this can lead to other organ problems as well.

Here are a few things you can try to see if they work:
Inhale steam mixed with eucalyptus oil
Drink lots of water
Eat well and at regular times


Hope this helps you. Feel free to clarify further.
