Symptoms of Parkinson's disease in the elderly

summary

Recently, my grandfather is very hot tempered. He used to be a very kind old man. He may not get angry at any time, and no one bothered him. Every time I ask him to have a meal, he is lying in bed and unwilling to get up, and in recent days, I have found that his joints are aching. When I sent him to the hospital today, the doctor said that he was suffering from Parkinson's disease. In clinical medicine, Parkinson's disease has many obvious symptoms. Let me tell you about the symptoms of Parkinson's disease in the elderly.

Symptoms of Parkinson's disease in the elderly

First: depression is a big signal of Parkinson's disease in the elderly. Depression is also a "signal" of Parkinson's disease. As a part of the disease, depression even comes earlier than tremor and other "motor signals". But most patients ignore its importance. This kind of internal emotional symptoms will not only aggravate the disease, seriously affect the quality of life of patients, but also increase the mental burden of patients and the whole family members. Generally speaking, in clinical medicine, most of the elderly with Parkinson's disease have depression.

Second: tremor, the beginning of Parkinson's disease. Did you notice that the old people around you had uncontrollable tremors in their fingers from which day. After a period of time, the tremor slowly spread to the whole hand, and then spread to the left lower limb, right upper limb and lower limb At the time of attack. At the same time, the old man's reaction becomes more and more slow, his movements become more and more slow, and his facial expression looks more and more rigid The old man is likely to have Parkinson's disease. Most old people with Parkinson's disease shake their hands when they are talking or doing things.

Third: the elderly are often anxious. About 40% of the patients with Parkinson's disease, the precursor of Parkinson's disease, have anxiety symptoms, which are manifested as mental anxiety and somatic anxiety. Patients often feel inexplicable fear, fear, tension and uneasiness, often fidgety, restless, rubbing hands and feet, pacing up and down, small movements increase, attention can not be focused, they do not know why such a panic. Serious people feel that there is some kind of disaster, even a sense of dying. If the elderly suffer from Parkinson's disease, then they often feel that they are a burden, depression will become more and more serious.
