Parkinson's could be multi organ disease !!
Parkinson's disease is generally regarded as a brain disorder. It is a progressive disease which attacks the part of the brain which controls movement. But research carried out by scientists in the US suggests that it can also affect other parts of the body. Research by the US National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) suggests the disease also affects nerve endings in the heart. The scientists' findings could go some way to explaining why Parkinson's disease patients experience a sharp fall in blood pressure when they stand up.This often causes dizziness, light-headedness and fainting. Doctors had previously suspected that dizziness could be a side-effect of some of the drugs used to treat Parkinson's. But the US researchers have ruled this out.The scientists are now working on a further study to see if the disease has similar effects on other body organs.
