Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis: Symptoms and prevention explained
Cleveland Clinic says that Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis or ALS is a neuromuscular disorder. Breathing problem is one of the complications linked with the disease. This includes weak cough, difficulty in clearing the throat and lungs, extra saliva, problems lying flat in bed, chest infection, pneumonia, and respiratory failure.
Anyone who is between 55 and 75 years old is at risk of contracting the disease. It is reportedly common in men, but researchers are currently working on it to ensure that the fact is true. Military veterans also have a greater chance of being diagnosed with ALS.
The causes of this condition remain unknown, but researchers believe that genetics is one of the reasons. Another reason could be the environment where people get exposed to different toxic products, viruses, and physical issues.
Muscle cramps, thick speech, weakness, fatigue, weight loss, and problems in standing and walking are a few symptoms of ALS. There are different medications that can be useful to decrease the complications.
