10 Low Dopamine Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #6: Akinesia or Hypokinesia
Akinesia or hypokinesia refers to decreased movements of the body. It is characterized by complete or partial loss of muscle movement due to issues in the basal ganglia. This is often seen as a symptom of Parkinson’s disease or other disorders where there are low dopamine levels.
Affected individuals often experience muscle rigidity and the inability to move. This is attributed to the fact that dopamine provides communication between nerve cells and muscle cells. Since the signal transmission is disturbed in low dopamine levels, it can lead to dramatic consequences.
