What Are the Treatments for Hypotension in Parkinsons Patients?
Parkinson’s disease is a neurological disorder that can affect the body in many ways. The decreased activity of the nervous system common in Parkinson’s may affect the heart and cause hypotension, or low blood pressure. Hypotension can also be exacerbated by the medications taken by Parkinson’s patients. It is important to treat hypotension in Parkinson’s patients, as low blood pressure can lead to dizziness, light-headedness and an increased chance of a fall.
