How can I self test to determine if I have Parkinson s?

Through the following 9 simple self-examination methods, you can roughly determine whether you have Parkinson's disease: 1. Will it be difficult to get up from the stool? 2. Will the words written be smaller than those written before, especially the more you write, the smaller they become.

3. Has anyone said that your voice has become quieter than before? 4. Will it be particularly easy to fall when walking? 5. When walking, will you suddenly feel as if your feet are stuck to the ground, and you can't walk?

6. Do you feel richer facial expressions than before, and often smile very stiffly. 7. Whether there is shaking of hands or feet, especially when sitting quietly instead of moving. 8. When you tie buttons and laces, will it feel more difficult than before?

9. When walking, will you drag small steps and not take big steps? If you feel like you're having three of the nine problems above, you should wonder if you have Parkinson's disease. Because some people are not highly educated and cannot write, they cannot complete the second item, but if they have two of the other eight items, they should also be wary of whether they have Parkinson's disease.

Early diagnosis of Parkinson's is difficult. Diagnosis is based on the patient's medical history, physical examination, and ancillary tests, and cannot be based solely on any one test or symptom. For some patients with very atypical symptoms, early diagnosis is extremely difficult.

The four typical symptoms of Parkinson's disease, resting tremor, hypertonia, bradykinesia, and gait and posture disorders, if the patient has the above four symptoms, we can preliminarily judge that it may be Parkinson's disease. However, to confirm the diagnosis, it is necessary to see a specialist**. Once the specialist diagnoses Parkinson's disease and prescribes the drug**, the patient is still sensitive to drugs such as levodopa, and the symptoms improve after taking the drug, which further supports the diagnosis.

In terms of auxiliary examinations, olfactory examination can be performed, and if the loss of smell indicates Parkinson's disease, dopamine transporter PET-CT examination can be performed if possible, which can provide great reference value for diagnosis and differential diagnosis.

Parkinson's disease can be said to be a degenerative disease of the nervous system that occurs in middle and old age. Cai Pu, director of Sanbo Jiangling Shenwai, explained that most patients with Parkinson's disease have four typical symptoms: bradykinesia, resting tremor, body stiffness and unstable posture.

For Parkinson's disease, early identification is particularly important, because Parkinson's disease is not possible with current medical technology, so the principle of early detection, early diagnosis, and early diagnosis should be followed. However, due to the variety of symptoms of Parkinson's disease, it is often misdiagnosed as other diseases, but in fact, 9 questions can help the elderly detect Parkinson's disease.

Do you have trouble getting up from your chair with your hands crossed over your chest?

Is your handwriting smaller than before?

Has anyone said your voice has become quieter than it used to be?

Have you recently experienced a deterioration in your balance and are you prone to falls when walking?

Do you sometimes have your feet that suddenly feel like they're stuck to the ground?

Are your facial expressions not as rich as they used to be?

Do your hands or legs often shake involuntarily?

Do you feel that your hands are not flexible when you tie your own buttons or shoelaces?

Do you have difficulty getting off to the start when you walk, taking small broken steps, and are prone to freeze or rush forward without controlling the rhythm when walking?

If you meet more than three criteria, you need to consult a professional doctor for further diagnosis.

Clause. 1. Resting tremor. When the human body is at rest, the tremor of the limbs and head is very obvious, but the tremor phenomenon of the human body is significantly alleviated when the human body is moving.

Clause. 2. Muscle stiffness. The muscles of the body become stiff, the limbs become inflexible, and the face cannot make various expressions freely, and the face is often expressionless.

Clause. 3. Mood swings. Parkinson's patients become easily agitated, often with intense feelings of fear and sometimes very depressed.

Clause. Fourth, slow movements. After the disease, the patient's mobility begins to deteriorate, such as walking, talking, writing, etc., which is much slower than normal. When the disease progresses to a severe level, many movements cannot be completed.

Clause. 5. Degeneration of sensory organs. After Parkinson's disease occurs, various sensory organs begin to deteriorate, such as the sensitivity of smell, taste, and touch.

Clause. 6. Fine motor disorders. Parkinson's patients are unable to perform some fine movements independently, such as threading, tying shoes, peeling fruit and other delicate movements.

The above are a few ways to determine whether you have Parkinson's disease, and if you have one or more of the above conditions during the self-test, you may have Parkinson's disease. The more co-existing conditions, the higher the probability of having Parkinson's disease. When suffering from Parkinson's, you must go to the hospital in time**, and you can't blindly use drugs.

In daily life, if you want to prevent Parkinson's disease, you should exercise your brain from time to time to slow down its aging rate.

Patients with Parkinson's disease present with three sets of symptoms: bradykinesia, increased muscle tone, and tremor. In the later stage, autonomic disorders, depression, and dementia appear, and the core symptom is bradykinesia, which can be judged by examination.

The doctor and the patient should make fists, finger pairs, steps, and stomps at the same time as fast as possible. Often, the patient's movements are much slower than the doctor's, suggesting bradykinesia. On this basis, Parkinson's is more supportive if it is accompanied by cogmic-like elevation of muscle tone and tremor.

If there is tremor but no bradykinesia, Parkinson's is not considered.

In the same way, if there is an increase in muscle tone, but there is no bradykinesia, Parkinson's is still not considered, so the core symptom of Parkinson's is bradykinesia. Diagnose different diagnoses from similar symptoms, and should come to the hospital promptly if tremors, bradykinesia or stiffness occur. It is up to the doctor to distinguish the cause of the disease and give it accordingly.

Disease analysis: To determine whether it is Parkinson's disease, it is generally judged from the following aspects: 1. Age. Over 50 years old.

of middle-aged and elderly patients are multiple-affected in Parkinson's disease; 2. Family history. Parkinson's disease usually has a certain genetic predisposition.

3. Clinical symptoms. Parkinson's disease usually has typical clinical symptoms, including motor and non-motor symptoms. Motor symptoms.

The main manifestations are resting tremor, bradykinesia, decreased voluntary movements, and muscle rigidity, with the most nucleated symptoms being impulsive.

Sluggishness. Non-motor symptoms include sleep disturbances, frequent urination, and constipation. 4. Signs of the nervous system. Parkin.

Sen's patients often show tube-like or cog-like stiffness and apathy in the joints. 5. The disease progresses.

Dot. The progression of Parkinson's disease is mostly lodging residual n-type, that is, the onset of the disease from one upper limb to the destruction of the ipsilateral lower limb and the pair.

Lateral limbs. With the above characteristics, Parkinson's disease can be basically diagnosed.

The diagnosis of Parkinson's is mainly based on the patient's clinical presentation. When the patient has bradykinesia, clumsiness, plus any of the clinical manifestations of muscle rigidity or resting tremor, we can call Parkinsonism syndrome.

Parkin's disease is a relatively common disease in Parkinsonism, accounting for most of them, this disease responds well to levodopa drugs, and the response effect is often 5 years or more than 5 years, and a large amount of oral administration is also prone to dyskinesias. The overall course of Parkinson's disease can be up to 10 years, or more than 10 years. This disease is more common in middle-aged and elderly people over 50 years old, and it is relatively rare for people under 40 years old.

Sudden weakness of the hands and feet is considered to be cerebrovascular disease.

If the hand and foot weakness is unilateral, the socks can be caused by cerebral lesions, including cerebral hemorrhage and cerebral infarction, which are seen in the basal ganglia, radiating crown region, or lacunar cerebral infarction, small intracerebral hemorrhage, and generally no disturbance of consciousness, cerebral edema, and increased intracranial pressure. In the case of large-scale cerebral infarction, hemiplegia or hemianopia may occur, and speech dysfunction may occur in the case of left-sided lesions, as well as impaired consciousness and urinary and urinary disorders.

If it is bilateral limb weakness, it may be caused by lesions of the brainstem, including dizziness, nausea, balance disorders, nystagmus, dysphagia, choking on drinking water, bulbar paralysis in severe cases, or urinary and fecal disorders, manifested as urinary and fecal retention and urinary and fecal incontinence. MRI of the brain confirms the diagnosis.
