G23.3: Multiple system atrophy, cerebellar type [MSA-C]

Your brain can no longer properly control certain bodily functions and movements.

The brain is located inside the head. It receives, processes and stores sensory impressions. The brain controls movements and various physical functions.

With this condition, certain areas of the brain suffer increasing damage. Areas that control bodily functions may be affected, for example. When these areas are damaged, various symptoms may result. It may become impossible to control one's blood pressure, for example. Your blood pressure may then be very low after getting up. If your blood pressure is too low, you can feel dizzy or black out. You may also have problems with passing water.

Parts of the brain that control movements are also typically affected. This might make it difficult to balance. You might wobble when walking and standing. You may also no longer be able to execute movements with the same precision. It may also become impossible to control your eye movements properly. Speech may also become difficult. Movements may also become slower. Muscles may be tense and stiff. There may also be other symptoms.
