Serious Symptoms Of Parkinson's Disease

Balance Issues

A balance issue is a term used to refer to any problem that causes an individual to feel unsteady, dizzy, lightheaded, or like the room they are in is spinning. Balance problems can occur when individuals are sitting down, standing, or lying down. An individual's balance is maintained through the careful coordination of numerous systems in the body working together. The nerves, inner ear balance organs, bones, joints, muscles, blood vessels, bones, heart, and vision must all be working well and in sync to produce adequate balance in an individual. The organ in the inner ear and all of its components make up an individual's vestibular system, which is responsible for keeping them balanced. However, the nerves that send signals from the inner ear to the brain and vice versa may become affected by the degeneration process that occurs as a result of Parkinson's disease, which is what causes patients to have balance issues.
