I was on three weeks holiday in Europe recently.

It is winter in Europe and am flying from tropicial country, Malaysia.

I have low blood pressure due to sideeffect with Parkinson's
medication.

I do not have problem during my stay in Europe.

I have problem on the second day when I fly back from Europe as I feel dizzinness and fainted after comming back from shopping.

Dear Friend,

I am not certain that the dizziness was due to the climate change.

Although that might be the case, I think it is more likely that perhaps you might have been experiencing some other concern, such as dehydration. With low blood pressure, it is important to drink plenty of fluids to build up the blood volume as much as possible; and travel can change our habits, schedules, and the way we normally eat and drink. If you had not been drinking as much fluid as usual, I think that would be a more likely cause of the blood pressure drop than the climate change.

However, I suggest you address your question to “Ask the Doctor,” as they may have other information they would like to suggest.
