Emiliano Pinsón Suffered an Accident in Spain Amid Parkinson's Treatment

Argentine sports journalist Emiliano Pinsón, currently in Spain for Parkinson's disease treatment, has revealed he experienced an accident caused by a sudden drop in blood pressure. The incident led to a fall, resulting in facial injuries that required medical attention and stitches.

“

I have hypotension, that is, low blood pressure. I can't get dizzy, I can't change states, from being calm to moving. If I stand up, for example, I have to wait five seconds standing or ten seconds standing and then walk. The same for sitting down, I can't get up suddenly. I can't go on a roller coaster. I can't have changes in levels.

Pinsón, who has been open about his health struggles, explained on his Instagram account that these episodes of hypotension, or low blood pressure, are a known complication of his degenerative condition. He described how sudden changes in posture, like standing up too quickly, can trigger these episodes, necessitating careful movement.

This is something I already know because it has happened to me before, on other occasions. But this time I realized I needed to go to the clinic to have them change my medication method.

He recounted traveling by motorcycle to a clinic for his medication when a change in temperature between the outside and inside environments destabilized him, leading to the fall. "I must have made a lot of noise, because if I cut myself, it means I hit myself hard," he stated, noting he received three stitches.

While acknowledging he is not in the best health, Pinsón sought to reassure his followers about the severity of the fall, stating, "What happened is not serious. If it had been, I would tell you." He also provided an update on his treatment, clarifying that it aims to slow the disease's progression rather than cure it. He expects to return to Argentina by December after completing this phase of the clinical trial.

I am not in the best condition. I am not a ten, not at all. But what happened is not serious. If it had been, I would tell you. I had a fall and I have them habitually; sometimes I also have problems with speech or writing.
