A constant strong trembling in his hands, a shaking head is a sign of a serious neurological disease. The people say about this – “shaking”. What kind of disease leads to the fact that the hands and head are shaking?
Like Biden
“This condition is called Parkinsonism, it has different forms, which include Parkinson’s disease known to everyone,” explained AIF.RU Chairman of the Moscow City Scientific Society of therapists, Professor Pavel Vorobyov. – Basically, parkinsonism develops in relative to the elderly, from 50 years old, but it may occur before. The manifestations of parkinsonism are very individual. Sometimes it is just a barely noticeable tremor of hands. It also happens such a strong tremor so that a person with one hand is forced to hold another. In some people, the disease progresses quite quickly, causing very severe manifestations up to the loss of the possibility of moving and the death of a person. ”
The doctor notes that with Parkinsonism, progressive general brain failure develops, and cites the example of the ex-president of the United States Biden: “You can recall how he periodically stopped and froze in the video, lost his space, forgetting what to do next. This is a typical parkinthical behavior. ”
Another characteristic manifestation of parkinsonism is the inability to get out of bed – it is very difficult for a person to make an initiating movement.
You can’t cure, but you can help
According to the doctor, the disease is well studied by scientists, it is only not clear how to cure a person. “There are a group of drugs that reduce parkinsonic tremor,” the professor continues. – These drugs slightly suppress the psyche, and a small tremor remains, but they still noticeably alleviate the condition. To someone, drugs help worse. We have to put special pumps in the stomach for drug administration, because they are not absorbed. ”
Therefore, if a person noticed a tremor that suddenly began, he should turn to a neurologist. Let’s say he took a cup, and his hand shakes so much that he cannot convey the drink to the table without splashing. Yes, the progression of the disease cannot be stopped, but you can stop the symptoms.
Of course, there is a trembling associated with physiological conditions, but this is easy to distinguish. “Hands can shake with a high tension from physical activity, with stress – this is a situational parkinsonism that passes. But if the tremor is regularly repeated, it is not connected with any external provocations, it is better to consult a specialist, ”the doctor advises.
