Frequent nightmares, being chased in dreams, yelling when sleeping, punching and kicking, possibly Parkinson's disease...

"Is our husband sick in this situation?" In order to cover the dark circles, Aunt Xu specially brought sunglasses and came to the Parkinson's Disease Center of the Second Hospital of Zhejiang University for consultation.

It turned out that Aunt Xu's wife often had nightmares, and when she slept at night, she often punched and kicked, hit herself several times, and sometimes suddenly shouted and screamed, which scared Aunt Xu awake, and every night she was afraid that she would suddenly be punched by her wife.

Nightmares, yelling, punching and kicking

Be wary of Parkinson's disease

Under the doctor's advice, Aunt Xu took her wife to the Parkinson's Disease Center of the Second Hospital of Zhejiang University for hospitalization, and did a detailed examination, including night sleep monitoring, head magnetic resonance and so on.

In this process, the doctor learned that Uncle Dabo had begun to have symptoms of shoulder pain and unfavorable legs and feet 2 years ago. Then they always thought that they were older, went around for treatment, as rheumatism, lumbar disc herniation in the treatment, after a detailed assessment by a Parkinson's disease specialist, combined with medical history, examination, and finally diagnosed Aunt Xu's wife was primary Parkinson's disease, accompanied by symptoms of "rapid eye movement sleep disorder". Such patients are prone to self-harm, but also easy to hurt the same bed, often at the same time angry language, will shout. The person next to him needs to be loud to wake up the patient.

After the patient wakes up, some patients can recall the nightmare situation in detail, and they will describe the situation of being attacked in the sleep and running away. Most patients do not wake up because they have violent behavior, and sleep is not disturbed when violence occurs. Some patients have seizures once a week, and severe rapid eye sleep disorders occur several times a night. People with LEC sleep disorder can have characteristic sexual violence in vivid dreams, and patients can roll, jump, or punch and kick.

After systematic treatment, Aunt Xu's wife's waist and legs are no longer painful, the action is more than before, and she no longer shouts at night, punches and kicks, aunt Xu can also sleep peacefully, and the smile on her face has returned.

Parkinson's disease

Parkinson's disease is a common movement disorder disease in middle-aged and elderly people, and is the second largest degenerative disease of the central nervous system after Alzheimer's disease.

More than half of the world's Parkinson's population is in China. Some experts predict that by 2030, there will be 5 million Parkinson's disease patients on the mainland.

The main manifestations of parkinson's disease are: bradykinesia, resting tremor, muscle stiffness, postural balance disorders, etc., which gradually progress and eventually lead to life inability to take care of themselves.

Due to the slow onset of Parkinson's disease, early motor symptoms are not very obvious, and can be accompanied by constipation, sleep disorders, decreased sense of smell, postural hypotension, rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorders, mood disorders and other non-motor symptoms, which also require vigilance. Although Parkinson's disease has not been completely cured so far, through the comprehensive treatment of various methods such as drug therapy, surgical treatment, rehabilitation training, psychological counseling and meticulous care, the development of Parkinson's disease can be well controlled and the quality of life of patients can be improved.
