I get anxiety attacks, usually with no obvious triggers. If I get an attack during the day, walking around the neighborhood (about a mile and a half) helps, though the fatigue I get from the walk means I won't be doing much for the rest of the day. The night attacks are pretty bad, though I've found that they subside on their own. Repeating to myself that the attack will subside seems to actually shorten the duration of the attack.
I keep busy and try to adhere to a daily routine. I do different types of exercises on a daily basis, from yoga to boxing. I was officially diagnosed with PD in August of 2020. Over the years I had many related symptoms that were treated individually with medication. My neurologist set me straight on exercise. Unfortunately, in the middle of Covid, programs were not readily available. When I’m not adhering to my activities stress manages to sneak in. That leads to me stopping and concentrating on the task at hand. No more multitasking for me.
Soft, relaxing music
That’s a great idea. As a music lover myself I’d go to listening as a way to destress

The light exercise is a good option. Do you have fatigue regularly regardless?
@@parkinsonsdiseaseeducation Some days, yes, I have fatigue, even when I don't exercise. I think it may be due to sleep quality.
@markeighth sleep definitely can be a factor, just remember that fatigue can be a non-motor symptom in and of itself.

What is the best way to deal with the stress without medication?
Hi Diane, did you watch the whole video? I gave some examples of non-medication methods.
I. Cannot. Exercise much use walker. No PT will be covered
Try Power for Parkinson’s TH-cam. It’s free and online.
Why won’t PT be covered?
