Hello
Thank you for trusting HCM
Dear multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a rare, degenerative neurological disorder affecting your body's involuntary (autonomic) functions, including blood pressure, breathing, bladder function and muscle control.
So degeneration of different parts of brain may cause different symptoms dear.
Parkinson variety: contain tremors, rigidity, postural distrubences etc..
Cerebellar variety:slurred speech, impaired coordination, difficulty in swallowing.
Cause is perfectly not known some researchers are studying a possible inherited component or environmental toxin involved in the disease process, but there's no substantial evidence to support these theories.
Treated with symptomatically no perfect treatment. please consult your neurophysician he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Take care
