In the early stages of Parkinson's disease, there are usually some motor and non-motor symptoms.
1. Motor symptoms:
Resting tremor: One of the early symptoms of Parkinson's disease is resting tremor, which often appears in the hands. This tremor is characterized by a quiet state and often manifests as a shaking of the thumb and forefinger, forming a "pill rubbing" movement. This tremor can disappear during activity.
Slowness of movement: Patients with Parkinson's disease will have symptoms of bradykinesia in the early stage, including slow and difficult fine motor skills, such as tying shoes, threading needles, and buttoning. In addition, it is difficult to start when walking, and once walking, the pace is small and fast, showing a forward gait, which is called a forward gait.
Postural gait disorder: In addition to bradykinesia, patients with Parkinson's disease also experience symptoms of postural gait disorder in the early stages. The patient is stiff when standing, walks with bent feet, small broken gaits, and leans forward.
2. Non-motor symptoms:
Hyposmia: One of the early non-motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease is hyposmia. Patients may find that their sense of smell is not as sensitive as it used to be, and it is difficult to smell noticeable odors.
Sleep disorders: Patients with Parkinson's disease may have sleep disturbances in the early stage, which are manifested by yelling, punching and kicking during sleep, as well as intractable constipation and increased sweating.
Mood disorders: In terms of affective disorders, people with Parkinson's disease may often present with anxiety and depression in the early stages. Sometimes this mood disorder can be mistaken for other diseases or caused by aging.
Language disorder: Patients with Parkinson's disease may have language impairment in the early stage, which is manifested as slurred speech, flat tone of speech, no intonation and frustration, and monotonous rhythm. This language barrier is often thought to be caused by other diseases or aging.
The above are the symptoms of Parkinson's disease in the early stage, if these symptoms appear, you should seek medical attention in time for detailed examination and evaluation, so as to get an accurate diagnosis and personalized ** plan. At the same time, for patients with suspected Parkinson's symptoms, they should seek medical attention in time for detailed examination and evaluation, so as to get an accurate diagnosis and personalized plan.
