I'm a 52-year-old who has been on Parkinson's medication, specifically Syndopa, for the past year. Recently, I've developed a stomach infection and was considering taking O2 tablets for it. Is it safe to combine these with my current medication for Parkinson's? I'm a bit worried about any potential side effects or interactions.

I'm having some trouble with my legs and feet at night. They start hurting, and my feet get warm, usually lasting an hour or two. I end up having to put cold water on my feet a couple of times to get some sleep. By morning, they still feel numb. I'm worried this might be something serious. Do you think I should see a specialist, and if so, what kind?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms related to nerve compression or poor circulation, such as in conditions like peripheral neuropathy or restless leg syndrome. I recommend visiting a **neurologist** or a **vascular specialist** to get a thorough evaluation and proper diagnosis. It's important to address these symptoms to prevent any potential worsening of the condition.

These symptoms can include paralysis, tremors, or non-epileptic seizures, and they often arise in response to psychological stress or trauma.
