Parkinson's disease symptoms

When it comes to Parkinson's syndrome, everyone is familiar with it. In fact, Parkinson's disease is a common disease among the elderly, but it is not a unique disease. Adults and children also have a certain incidence rate. Once suffering from Parkinson's disease, patients will not only have difficulty in movement, but will also suffer from complications such as insomnia, depression, and dementia. Therefore, it is a serious disease that requires everyone to pay attention, detect symptoms in time, and receive treatment in time.

For patients with Parkinson's syndrome, if the disease can be detected early and controlled, the harm may be reduced. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the typical symptoms of Parkinson's. What are the symptoms of Parkinson's syndrome? Let's learn about it together.

When we talk about the typical symptoms of Parkinson's syndrome in life, resting tremor, as the first symptom of Parkinson's disease, is the first thing we think of. A small number of patients, especially those over 70 years old, may not experience tremors. In the early stage, it often manifests in the distal limbs, starting on one side, with tremors in the hands of the upper limbs being the most common. In some patients, tremors start in the knees of the lower limbs. When a rotational component is involved, a pill-rolling tremor of the thumb and index finger may occur. Myotonia: Myotonia is one of the main symptoms of Parkinson's disease, which is mainly caused by the increased balanced tension of the agonist and antagonist muscles. Due to the increase in muscle tension, patients may experience a series of abnormal symptoms, such as reduced blinking, chewing, swallowing, walking and other movements.

It should be noted here that the treatment of Parkinson's syndrome is relatively difficult at present, but it is not uncontrollable. Therefore, in order to improve the quality of life after illness, it is still necessary to receive treatment in a timely manner. Of course, during the treatment process, family members should communicate more with the patients to relieve their psychological pressure, which can improve the effectiveness of the treatment and reduce the harm caused by the disease.
