profuse sweating and hyper-ventilating

[Guest guest]

One of the women in my support has a friend whose husband has LBD. I am

referring her to another doctor and am finding out what meds he is taking, but

wanted to post this to see if anyone else had experienced anything similar.

Thanks:

He is 82 and was diagnosed with Parkinsons four years ago, but he has progressed

so rapidly that he now had dementia as well and I think Lewy body. He can not

walk without aide, dress himself, and sometimes feed himself.The worst part are

the attacks he gets He will break out in a drenching sweat to the point where if

he is on top of a quilt the sheet beneath will be wet.His face will be in a

painful grimace, he will be hyper ventilating his limbs become rigid and be in

spasms. He hears us but does not always respond.These episodes can last from an

hour or more, the longest being 5 1/2 hours The doctors say it is a side effect

of the illness but I have never heard of anyone having this.
