Parkinsonism
When to Consult
If you notice persistent tremors, stiffness, slowness in movements, or balance issues, it’s important to consult a neurologist promptly. Early diagnosis of Parkinsonism allows for timely treatment, helping to manage symptoms effectively and maintain a better quality of life.
Symptoms of Parkinsonism
- Tremors: Uncontrollable shaking, typically starting in the hands or fingers.
- Stiffness and Rigidity: Muscle stiffness that makes movement difficult.
- Bradykinesia: Slowed movement, making it harder to perform everyday tasks.
- Postural Instability: Difficulty maintaining balance, leading to falls.
- Other Symptoms: Difficulty speaking, swallowing, or writing, along with changes in facial expressions and speech.
Causes and Risk Factors
The exact cause of Parkinsonism is often unknown, but it may be related to:
- Genetics: Family history can increase risk.
- Age: Parkinsonism typically affects individuals over the age of 60.
- Environmental Factors: Exposure to toxins or other environmental influences may contribute.
