Parkinson's disease

 

Parkinson's disease

Parkinson's disease is a movement disorder that occurs when nerve cells (neurons) in a specific region of the brain stop producing the chemical dopamine. The disorder is also known as shaking palsy or paralysis agitans. For treatment and queries contact our experts and medical specialists at BEWELL hospital.

Symptoms

Tremor is defined as an involuntary and rhythmic movement of the hands, arms, legs, and jaw.

Muscle rigidity or stiffness of the limbs-most commonly found in the arms, shoulders, and neck.

Gradual lack of spontaneous movement frequently results in lower mental skills or reaction speed, voice alterations, less facial expressiveness, and so on.

Gradual loss of automatic movement may result in decreased blinking, swallowing frequency, and drooling.

A stooped, flexed posture with elbows, knees, and hips bent.

Unstable movement or balance

Dementia or depression

Causes Dopamine deficiency

Parkinson's disease symptoms are mostly caused by low or declining levels of dopamine, a neurotransmitter. It occurs when dopamine-producing cells in the brain die.

Dopamine is involved in the transmission of messages to the portion of the brain that controls movement and coordination. As a result, low dopamine levels might make it difficult for people to control their movements. As dopamine levels continue to plummet, symptoms worsen.
