7 early, unusual signs of Parkinson’s disease you shouldn't ignore

Whenever Parkinson's disease is spoken about, we immediately think that it is directed towards tremors, shaking hands, or stiff movements in older individuals. However, doctors throughout the country are seeing some signs other than that as well. According to Dr AK Sahani, director and chief of neurology at the Indian Spinal Injuries Centre, Vasant Kunj, Parkinson's can be understood as a movement-cum-coordination issue that is a progressive neurological disease. It occurs when the brain begins to lose cells that release dopamine, an important chemical that assists in muscle control. While tremors and stiffness are popularly discussed, the condition is often initiated by much less recognisable symptoms.
