Low blood pressure facts. Low blood pressure, also called hypotension, is blood pressure low enough that the flow of blood to the organs of the body is inadequate and symptoms and/or signs of low blood flow develop shock.

The hallmark of Parkinsonâs disease is the loss of these neurons and a decrease in dopamine; when these neurons die, there are fewer dopamine transporters, leading to decreased activity on the brain scan. For the classic motor symptoms of Parkinsonâs to be present, typically 50% or more of these neurons must be lost.
