A 55-year-old man was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease 1 year ago. He is seen in clinic. He has a background of hypertension and asthma and takes Ramipril 2.5mg OD only. He was initially reluctant to commence any treatment as he felt his symptoms were mild and having only a minimal effect on his quality of life.
