Doctors have named 4 early signs of Parkinson's disease

Experts in the field of medicine and health say that most people learn about Parkinson's disease only when there are pronounced symptoms. Doctors named 4 signs that indicate the probability of developing a neurological disease several years before its occurrence.

Doctors call restless sleep one of the first signs. It is worth paying attention to the increased activity during sleep and the absence of memories of it after waking up. Also, a symptom of the probable development of Parkinson's disease can be the loss of the ability to distinguish smells. This sign appears a few years before the disease in 90% of patients, preceding tremors and disorders in the work of the musculoskeletal system.

A likely sign of the development of a chronic neurological disease can be a constant feeling of anxiety. It appears decades before the disease due to changes that occur in the biochemical processes of the brain and can be accompanied by depression.

Doctors call the fourth sign problems with digestion and disturbances in the work of the gastrointestinal tract. A recent medical study by scientists revealed an existing relationship between the state of the human brain and the bacterial composition of the gastrointestinal tract.
