New Delhi, April 11 (IANS). Parkinson’s is a disease that gradually affects body functions, and it is very important to recognize the symptoms in time. Symptoms like tremors in hands, muscle stiffness, and difficulty walking can be early signs, ignoring which can be dangerous.
World Parkinson’s Day is celebrated every year on 11 April. On this day, efforts are made to make people aware about Parkinson’s disease.
Parkinson’s is a neurological disease, in which there is damage to the brain cells that control body movements. In this disease, there is a deficiency of a chemical called dopamine in the brain, due to which the muscles of the body are not able to function properly. The disease is usually seen in people over the age of 60, but can sometimes start in youth.
Talking about the main symptoms of Parkinson’s, they include tremors in hands and legs, stiffness and stiffness in muscles, imbalance and slowness in walking, getting up and sitting, difficulty in writing, inclination in any part of the body, less blinking of eyes or lack of facial expressions etc.
These symptoms are very mild in the beginning and gradually increase, so many people ignore them considering them to be normal symptoms of aging.
According to the National Health Mission, this disease can be controlled well by recognizing the symptoms on time and taking medical advice. With medicines, physiotherapy and healthy lifestyle, patients can lead a normal life.
Experts recommend that if you or any of your family members are experiencing tremors in hands, stiffness in muscles or difficulty in walking, then immediately contact a neurologist. With early detection and proper treatment, the impact of this disease can be significantly reduced.
