Tremors may be Parkinson's disease, but Parkinson's can also cause constipation, inability to smell, trouble sleeping, or difficulty recognizing people. Parkinson's is not a "patent" for the elderly, and young people can also get Parkinson's disease. If 5 symptoms appear, it may be a manifestation of early Parkinson's disease.
Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative degeneration caused mainly by the degeneration and death of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra. There are many causes of Parkinson's disease, and family inheritance is more obvious, according to statistics, 10% of patients with Parkinson's disease have a family history.
The toxins we are exposed to on a regular basis are also important triggers. For example, some pesticides, herbicides, rotenone, etc., so you must pay attention to protection when you come into contact with these substances.
The gradual aging of the nervous system can also cause Parkinson's disease. Some data believe that after the age of 30, the substantia nigra dopaminergic neurons in the human body begin to age and degenerate, and the older the age, the more serious this degeneration is, and the more likely it is to cause Parkinson's disease.
If 5 manifestations are present, be alert to the possibility of Parkinson's disease:
One is resting tremor. Tremor is often the earliest manifestation of Parkinson's disease, and many patients are diagnosed with Parkinson's disease because of hand tremors. Usually starting at the distal end of one upper limb, the thumb, index finger, and middle finger move like rubbing a ball or counting bills. It then extends to the ipsilateral and contralateral limbs. These tremors usually occur at rest, such as when watching television or chatting with others, and the shaking lessens or stops when changing positions or exercising. This is typical of Parkinson's disease.
The second is that the muscles become stiff. It may cause movement disorders, shoulder pain, etc.
The third is the appearance of slow movement. Becomes less flexible, slow, and has an unsteady gait.
Fourth, there is a problem with balance. Some people may have impaired balance, unsteady posture, and often fall easily.
Fifth, there is a "mask face". It is that the facial expression decreases and becomes dull.
Of course, the above manifestations are not all caused by Parkinson's disease, if they occur, it is recommended to see a neurologist as soon as possible to make a clear diagnosis, and the effect of early treatment will be better. #年轻人也可能得帕金森病 ##关注帕金森病#
