Suggest Treatment For Chronic Diarrhea, Irregular Pulsation Sensation And Back Pain

I am a 67 year old female with Parkinson s Disease. I am taking Rytary, Carbadopa levodopa and azlect. I have been taking this medication for PD for 7 years - no major problems. Last September I lost my mother from Frontal Lobe Dementia. Since then, I am having many unusual symptoms: chronic diarrhea, irregular and increasing heavy pulsing sensation in my chest, pain in the upper right abdomen extending through to my back. My Primary Care Physician says to talk with my neurologist regarding side effects of the medication and my Neurologist says to talk with my Primary Care Physician - new symptoms have nothing to do with PD medication. I take 0150mg levothyroxine for hypothyroidism (10) years and Asmanex for preventative asthma symptoms (11 Years). Everyday for the past 10 days I feel like I need to go to the emergency room. In that same time I have lost 8 lbs (10 days). I feel like something is wrong beyond the above history. What should I do?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

As per my clinical experience, the issue here sounds to be related to alteration in hormone levels in terms of thyroid levels, which are responsible for an irregular pulse.

Dosage modifications are required after evaluating for the fresh thyroid hormone profile.

Chest heaviness sounds side effect of bronchi dilator as Deriphyllin or else used for asthma.

Back pain and weight loss sound again to hormone imbalance with GI involvement.

In a nutshell, the whole treatment strategy is to be figured out depending upon the relevant diagnosis in details.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Purva Patel,
