Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended that I go to the neurology department for a check-up. Could you please explain what ataxia is?Doctor's answer:
Ataxia is a chromosomal genetic disease of cerebral ataxia in patients, usually triggered by genetic issues. It can cause symptoms such as unsteady gait, difficulty walking, unclear speech, and in severe cases, loss of lower limb position and tremors. Prevention of this disease generally involves maintaining a regular dietary habit in daily life, getting adequate rest, paying attention to dietary and living routines, avoiding spicy and irritating foods, and consuming more fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins.
