Parkinson’s disease can be defined as a progressive brain disorder that affects the nervous system, producing a continuous loss of muscle control. It happens when cells that normally produce dopamine, which is a chemical that carries signals between the nerves in the brain,” die.
Signs of Parkinson’s disease exhibit themselves slowly and worsen as the disease progresses over time. Although they differ from person to person, here are the most common early warning signs of Parkinson’s disease you should never ignore.
12Slow Movement or Bradykinesia
As Parkinson’s disease advances, body movements almost automatically may become slowed, making it difficult and time-consuming to do routine tasks such as brushing teeth.
This sign, known as bradykinesia, may also make it hard to walk, leading to shorter steps or dragging feet during walking. These signs are due to impairment of the neurons which control the body movement.
