If you have symptoms such as tremors at the corners of your mouth and hands, is it Parkinson s?

If you have symptoms such as tremors at the corners of your mouth and hands, the first thing to do is to rule out whether it is due to essential tremor, Parkinson's disease, or intention tremor. There is a family history of essential tremor. It is mainly manifested by tremor during activity, while Parkinson's disease is more likely to present as resting tremor.

Moreover, essential tremor is generally seen in one upper limb or both upper limbs, and the course of the disease is relatively long, and the tremor caused by Parkinson's disease can cause tremor in addition to tremor, and clinical symptoms such as bradykinesia, muscle rigidity, and unsteady walking. Therefore, it is not possible to determine what type of normal cause is simply from the symptoms you described, so it is recommended to go to a professional neurology department. Hand tremors are not all Parkinson's disease.

Essential tremor, hyperthyroidism, anxiety, and cerebellar disorders can all cause hand tremors. Different diseases have different ways of hand tremor, which can be easily distinguished by the following 3 tests:

1.Hands resting quietly on the legs, if there is shaking, it is a resting tremor, which is more common in Parkinson's disease;

2.The hands are stretched forward flat, and if there is shaking, it is postural tremor, which is more common in essential tremor or hyperthyroidism;

3.Straighten one hand forward, point forward with the index finger, and then point to your nose, repeat several times, if there is a shaking, it is an action tremor, which is more common in essential tremor or cerebellar disorders.

Not necessarily the specific cause needs to be checked in the hospital.

When it comes to hand tremors, many people immediately think of Parkinson's disease. As a common chronic disease in middle-aged and elderly people, the most typical symptom of Parkinson's disease is hand tremors. However, there are various causes of hand tremors, and not all hand tremors are caused by Parkinson's disease.

01 What is Parkinson's.

Parkinson's disease, also known as parkinson's palsy, was first described in detail by the British physician James Parkinson in 1817. In honor of this doctor, the disease is uniformly known internationally as Parkinson's disease, and the doctor's birthday, April 11, is designated as "World Parkinson's Disease Day".

When it comes to Parkinson's disease, many people's first reaction is "tremor", which is called "tremor" in technical terms. There are many patients who come to the outpatient clinic because their hands shake involuntarily. The most common clinical symptoms of Parkinson's disease are tremor, muscle stiffness, and bradykinesia.

Many people think of Parkinson's disease when they see tremor, but in fact, when judging Parkinson's disease, the most important thing is slow movement, the patient feels that the movement becomes slow, the limbs are stiff, and when walking, it seems that he can't open his legs, and his steps become smaller.

02 Is hand tremor Parkinson's?

Because the knowledge that Parkinson's disease can tremble hands is too "deeply rooted in the hearts of the people", as long as it is trembling, the first thing that will be thought of is Parkinson's disease.

In fact, tremor is not only seen in Parkinson's disease, but also in other diseases, including: essential tremor, hyperthyroidism, cerebellar disease, long-term alcohol abuse, taking certain drugs, etc. Therefore, the occurrence of "hand tremors" is not necessarily Parkinson's disease, but may also be essential tremor.

This is one of the diseases that can be most easily confused with Parkinson's disease.

Essential tremor can occur at all ages, mostly in middle-aged and elderly people, and similar tremors may be related to heredity in the immediate family of most patients. Unlike Parkinson's disease, essential tremor is a tremor in an active state, most commonly when holding objects, such as holding chopsticks, pouring water, and writing, while the tremor is milder when stationary, and some patients get better after drinking alcohol.

Essential tremor occurs in most hands at the same time, and head tremor may occur in the early stage, without the symptoms of Parkinson's disease, such as limb stiffness and inactivity.

03 What should I do if my hands tremble?

Hand tremors are an important symptom of Parkinson's disease, but hand tremors are not necessarily Parkinson's disease. If you have symptoms of hand tremors, you should consult a neurologist in time to make an accurate diagnosis. If your family members have abnormal movements such as slowing down and shaking of limbs, you should pay attention to it and seek medical attention in time as soon as possible**.

Mouth tremors may be caused by Parkinson's disease, hyperthyroidism, or cerebellar lesions, as well as mental and psychological factors and heavy alcohol consumption. In addition to the symptoms of mouth tremor, Parkinson's disease will also have clinical manifestations such as limb tremor, mouth and tongue tremor, gait abnormality, posture disorders, etc., and hyperthyroidism is often accompanied by palpitation, weight loss, sweating, etc., which cannot be diagnosed by just one symptom.

A visit to the hospital should be performed for examination, and ancillary tests should be used to rule out organic lesions. Avoid excessive emotional tension and anxiety, reduce stress appropriately, and maintain a positive and optimistic attitude.

Mouth shaking is just a symptom. This symptom occurs in many diseases. You still have to check it to be sure**. Only by treating the symptoms can you get twice the result with half the effort.

Many people are prone to tremors in their hands, which may be Parkinson's disease or other diseases, so it is necessary to conduct in-depth observation. If there are other symptoms on the body at the same time as the tremor of the hands, it is necessary to make a positive diagnosis based on all the symptoms, so it is not possible to make a positive judgment based on the symptoms of the tremor of the hands, but to make a positive diagnosis based on all the symptoms and manifestations of the body. If you have tremors in your hands, you need to go to the hospital for a checkup.

Symptomatic manifestations of Parkinson's disease.

1. Resting tremor.

In Parkinson's disease, muscle tremor is particularly pronounced when at rest, and when exercising, this normal condition begins to lessen, which is the so-called resting tremor.

2. Muscle rigidity.

After Parkinson's disease, patients will also have significant muscle rigidity. At this time, the phenomenon of not obeying the call of exercise is manifested, and muscle rigidity is more serious.

3. Restricted movement.

When Parkinson's disease progresses, there may be significant movement limitations. At this time, the patient's movements can no longer keep up with the previous rhythms, such as noisy, and the attendants cannot even complete certain movements.

Hand tremors may be caused by Parkinson's disease or other diseases, so it is necessary to consider whether there are other symptoms in the body before the diagnosis can be made. After the onset of Parkinson's disease, it is necessary to take active action**. Patients with Parkinson's disease will have three obvious symptoms, and according to the specific symptoms, choose the corresponding ** method to make the disease reasonable**.

Parkinson's disease, also known as Woodson's idiopathic Parkinson's disease, referred to as Parkinson's disease, also known as parkinson's disease, is a common neurodegenerative disease in the elderly, and is the most common extrapyramidal disease of the elderly. The prevalence in people over 65 years of age is 1000,000. There are slightly more males than females as they age.

The main clinical manifestations of this disease are: resting tremor, slowness, decreased movements, increased muscle tone, and postural instability.

Parkinson's hand tremor is a sign of resting tremor.

Parkinson's is characterized by resting tremor, muscle rigidity, bradykinesia, and a peculiar postural gait. Among them, hand tremor is mainly manifested as resting tremor, which occurs at rest with four to six pill-rubbing tremors per second, which occurs when at rest, decreases during exercise, and disappears during sleep, which is the typical manifestation of Parkinson's hand tremor.

When this tremor occurs, it is necessary to pay attention to it, and to consult a neurology department in time, ask a doctor to decompose the symptoms, and if Parkinson's has been diagnosed, it needs to be carried out in time**. These include medications, psychological, and surgery if necessary. Also, look for relevant **, such as a brain MRI scan to rule out hand tremors due to cerebrovascular disease, cerebellar lesions, and peripheral neuropathy.

Medications**, surgery**, or stereotactic intervention** can help relieve the patient's symptoms.
