Doctors’ responses

Parkinson-plus syndromes are a group of neurological disorders that have some symptoms similar to Parkinson’s disease but also include additional features. In your father’s case, there are a few things to consider given the symptoms you’re describing, such as numbness, tightness, dizziness, and shivering. These could point towards a more complex issue that requires not only symptom management but also close monitoring by a specialist, typically a neurologist. A key component of treating Parkinson-plus syndromes involves using medications similar to those used in Parkinson’s disease, like dopaminergic agents, although they might not always be as effective in these conditions. Physiotherapy can help improve mobility, balance, and reduce fall risk, which is important given the walking issues you’ve mentioned.

To address the eye dizziness, an ophthalmologic evaluation might be warranted since visual problems can complicate balance and coordination. Occupational therapy can also help your father adapt to these symptoms by teaching strategies to cope with daily activities more efficiently. It’s essential to have a tailored treatment plan, so connecting with a healthcare provider, preferably one that specializes in movement disorders, is crucial to further evaluate and refine his management plan.

Regarding lifestyle, ensuring a nutritious diet and regular light physical activity can support his overall health. Hydration is also important, as dehydration can exacerbate dizziness. Be cautious with any new symptoms such as sudden confusion, increasing weakness, or significant changes in consciousness and seek medical advice promptly, as these could indicate more serious issues needing urgent attention. Assistive devices like walkers or handrails might help with his mobility at home. Remember, each person’s situation is unique, so regular follow-ups and open communication with his healthcare team will be central to effectively managing his condition.
