- - - - I had a fall the other day and I think I passed out
  - - - I think it was my dizziness. I'm just so frustrated because I feel dizzy everyday.
        
        Do you mind if I have a look at what could be causing your dizziness? I will start by taking your blood pressure and then asking a few questions.
        
        Go ahead
        
        How much water do you drink a day and what do your day-to-day meals look like?
        
        I don't remember how much water I drink and I just eat what my wife makes me, normally its just protein and carbs.
        
        INTERVENTION: It is important to keep track of your water intake as that could be contributing to your dizziness. It is also important to have well balanced meals to help you feel a bit more energized.
        
        When do you feel dizzy? Do you experience dizziness while standing, sitting or doing daily activities?
        
        I feel dizzy all the time but mostly when I stand up quickly.
        
        INTERVENTION: Ok, this could be an underlying issue related to your parkinsons disease. I am going to direct you through some screening questions to get to the bottom of this.
        
        Have you been experiencing any weakness, headaches or pain recently?
  - - - Im fine
    - - Well, I had a big fall yesterday. When I stood up, I felt very lightheaded and passed out in my room
        
        I'm so sorry to hear that, do you mind if I ask you some questions so we can get to the bottom of this?
        
        I'm ok, I think I will just wait until I see the doctor
