10 Warning Signs You Might Have Parkinson’s Disease

  • Tremor – If you notice a slight shaking or tremor in your finger, thumb, hand, or chin when you’re resting, it might be a sign of Parkinson’s disease. While shaking is normal after exercising, after a moment of intense stress or an injury, if you’re experiencing it outside any of these situations, then it’s a warning sign.
  • Small handwriting – Your handwriting might have shrunken from the way you were usually writing. Also, you might notice that the way you write words on a page is different, the letter sizes are smaller and the words are crowded. This is a change caused by Parkinson’s disease, and it’s called micrographia.
  • Loss of smell – If you’re experiencing a sudden loss of smell and it’s not because of coronavirus, you should ask your doctor about the possibility of having Parkinson’s. While your sense of smell can change due to the flu or a stuffy nose, you shouldn’t have any problems anymore the moment you feel better.
  • Trouble sleeping – Sometimes, Parkinson’s symptoms include thrashing around in your bed or acting out your dreams when you’re deeply asleep. While it’s not out of the ordinary to have a couple of nights when you can’t seem to find your peace, if it happens for months, you should ask yourself why.
  • Trouble moving or walking – Parkinson’s disease can be characterized by sudden stiffness in your body, arms or legs. Have you noticed that your arms don’t swing anymore when you walk? Sometimes, it goes away after a while, but if it doesn’t, it can be a sign of Parkinson’s. Also, people have recalled how sometimes their feet seem to be “stuck to the floor”.
