Midterm symptoms of Parkinson's disease?

summary

Once the attack of Parkinson's disease is normal, it will start to develop slowly from one side of the upper limb of the body, and gradually spread. Because the early symptoms of this disease are not very obvious, it is easy to be ignored. Many people have already said the mid-term symptoms when they find them, so we must know more about the symptoms in order to better treat them. So what about the mid-term symptoms of Parkinson's disease? Let's talk about it

Midterm symptoms of Parkinson's disease?

Tremor is one of the most typical symptoms of Parkinson's disease. Most of them were static tremor, and some of them were accompanied by postural tremor and motor tremor. The frequency of tremor is 4-6hz. Most of them start from the distal end of the limb. The hand can be shown as regular finger flexion and thumb "rubbing ball" action. Tremor is obvious when the limbs are still and relaxed, and can be alleviated when they move freely. Tremor in some patients may involve the mandible, mouth, lip, tongue and head.

The tension of extensor and flexor muscles increased, showing "lead tube myotonia"; When combined with tremor, it is shown as "gear like myotonia", that is, when stretching and flexing the limbs, it feels continuous resistance with intermittent pause. Severe myotonia can lead to low back pain, joint pain, limb pain, etc., which is easy to be misdiagnosed as osteoarthropathy.

For this symptom of Parkinson's disease, it is usually a manifestation easy to ignore. Whether there is the reduction and retardation of random movement is the key point for the diagnosis of Parkinson's disease. Some of the actions that patients often do in their daily life appear slow. During walking, the movement of the limbs is reduced, and the fine movement is difficult. There is a sign of "too little writing" that writing is getting smaller and smaller. There were less facial expression, less blinking action, and gaze with both eyes. There are slow speech, low tone, slow swallowing, difficulty and so on.

matters needing attention

There are no special dietary requirements for patients with Parkinson's disease. The patients taking levodopa preparation should be separated from the meal, and should take the drug one hour before or one and a half hours after the meal. Patients with constipation should drink more water and eat more food rich in fiber. Proper exercise is helpful for the functional recovery of patients. Recent studies have shown that Taijiquan is helpful for the balance function of patients. In the early stage, patients can take care of themselves, but in the middle stage, most patients need some help. Terminal patients need care in their daily life. Patients with dysphagia and drinking water coughing can be given nasal feeding diet. Long term bedridden should turn over and pat back regularly to avoid the occurrence of bedsore and falling pneumonia. Patients with urinary incontinence need catheterization.
