Difficulty walking
If a person starts walking strangely, you think you’d notice immediately, right?
When it comes to early Parkinson’s disease, even this symptom might be difficult to detect. We already know that this illness can affect your balance, but it can also have a negative impact on member coordination.
As a result, people with early Parkinson’s may start dragging their feet just a little as they walk, or they may walk slower than usual.
As the disease progresses, walking habits also become stranger: the affected person may experience an irregular pace, such as suddenly walking faster without actually wanting to.
Sleep problems
If this were the only symptom of Parkinson’s, I think the majority of us would suspect we have it, right?
Sleep problems can be caused by countless problems from physical and mental disorders to stress and unhealthy lifestyle choices. However, it can also be one of the earliest signs of Parkinson’s disease when it manifests as:
- Sudden fatigue
- Night terrors
- Uncontrollable movements during sleep
- Insomnia
- Sleep apnea
If you notice any of the above, the first thing you should do is check your daily schedule and physical condition to eliminate any alternative reasons.
