Around 220,000 people in Germany are affected by Parkinson's, typical symptoms are an unsteady walk and trembling hands.
You should take the following early warning signals seriously.
The London doctor James Parkinson first described the symptoms of Parkinson's disease in 1817.
The following symptoms are typical of the disease of the nervous system: shaking (tremor) and lack of movement (akinesia).
However, these usually only occur in the advanced stage of the disease.
However, there are signs of Parkinson's that become apparent years in advance
.
In Parkinson's disease, also known as Parkinson's disease, the brain cells responsible for mobility gradually die.
As a result, those affected can walk and grip more and more poorly.
Those affected find it difficult to move their legs and arms, everything happens more slowly.
Sick people often walk with tripping steps, their arms swing less and they write increasingly smaller, as Patient-Information.de informs as a service of the medical center for quality in medicine on behalf of the German Medical Association and the National Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians.
Also typical of Parkinson's:
the patient's face becomes expressionless, they swallow less often and their voice becomes quieter.
When the disease begins, only one side of the body is usually affected.
Muscle tremors, especially at rest, which doctors call tremors, also indicate Parkinson's disease.
These symptoms usually appear in the advanced stages of Parkinson's disease.
But there are also symptoms that announce the disease years before it breaks out
.
These can be physical as well as psychological signs.
