Meet Keith, who had Parkinson's disease for 10 years before he started experiencing symptoms of neurogenic orthostatic hypotension (nOH). Keith would feel dizzy or lightheaded after a long car ride or walking up stairs and would sometimes fall as a result. Behind the Mystery uncovers how Keith and his wife, Linda, came to learn that these symptoms were due to nOH. The video also features an interview with a neurologist, who explains more about how nOH may be diagnosed, and what can be done to manage the condition.
Watch Keith and Linda talk about their nOH journey, including how they learned about nOH and what they do to manage Keith’s symptoms, on Behind the Mystery, a program from the Lifetime network.
nOH can affect people with nervous system disorders like Parkinson’s disease and multiple system atrophy. If you have one of these conditions and experience symptoms like dizziness, lightheadedness, muscle weakness, or blurry vision upon standing, it’s important to tell your doctor. Diagnosing nOH is the first step toward symptom management.
