If you have a very turbulent sleep or often experience tremor and agitation, you may be experiencing some of the early signs of Parkinson’s. Here’s how you can identify if you have a Parkinson’s start according to the symptoms you are experiencing!
Tremor or agitation
Have you noticed a slight trembling or multiple tremors at your fingertips, especially your thumb, hands, chin or lips? Do your feet shake when you sit or relax? Tremor of limbs is a common early sign of Parkinson’s disease.
What is normal?
Stirring can be accustomed to a lot of physical exercise or if you have been injured and can also be caused by a drug that is being administered to you.
Small handwriting
Did your handwriting suddenly become much smaller than in the past? You may notice that the way you write certain words on a page has changed, such as lowercase letters and crowded words. A sudden change of handwriting is often a sign of Parkinson’s disease.
What is normal?
Sometimes writing may change as we age or as a result eyes problems. Also, when our hands are rigid, it is normal for the writing to be easily deformed.
Loss of smell
Have you noticed that you do not feel the smell of certain foods anymore? If you have trouble identifying food smells like bananas or pickles, you should consult your doctor to investigate whether you have a Parkinson’s disease.
What is normal?
The sense of smell can be changed by intense cold, flu or clogged nose, but it should come back as soon as you feel better.
Sleep problems
Are you getting sick every night through the bed or are you suddenly wake up? You fall out of bet at nights or do you hit the person next to you? Sudden movements during sleep may be a sign of Parkinson’s disease.
What is normal?
It is normal for everyone to have a awful night from time to time instead of sleeping. However, if these symptoms occur every night, it is vital that you consult your doctor as soon as possible.
Problems with walking and body movements
Do you feel stiffness in your body, arms or legs? Sometimes, rigidity disappears when you start to move, but if not, it can be a sign of Parkinson’s disease.
What is normal?
If you have injured your arm or shoulder, you may not be able to use it until it is completely healed. Also, another disease, such as arthritis, can cause the same symptom.
