Tremor of the hand can be a signal for St. Petersburgers about Parkinson’s disease

Trembling of the hand in a relaxed state and a sharp change in handwriting can be the first symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. It was reported to RIAMO.

Doctor Artem Baryshev explained that shivering usually starts on one side of the body and decreases when a person starts doing something with his or her hand. It is also worth wary if the movements became slow, stiffness appeared, and the letters when writing became noticeably smaller and denser to each other.

Age is considered the main risk factor, but the disease is found in people younger than 50 years, and in men more often. The neurologist advised at the first symptoms immediately go to the doctor. At the reception, it is better to take samples of your handwriting, a list of medications and a video of how exactly your hands shake.
