Signs and symptoms of Parkinson's

Signs and symptoms of Parkinson'sThe symptoms most often associated with Parkinson's are tremor (shaking), slowness of movement and rigidity.

However, there are many other symptoms of Parkinson's, not all of which affect movement.

The different types of Parkinson's symptoms are often divided into 2 categories: motor symptoms and non-motor symptoms.

Motor symptoms are related to movement, while non-motor symptoms include problems such as pain, depression, constipation and sweating.

There are no Parkinson's symptoms that specifically affect people in the advanced stages of Parkinson's. But you may find a change in how your symptoms affect you, and you may experience new symptoms. Find out more about symptoms of advanced Parkinson's.
