7 WARNING Signs of Parkinson's (Years BEFORE the Tremor) | Doctor Explains

Описание: Parkinson’s disease doesn’t usually start with a tremor. In fact, the earliest warning signs can appear years — sometimes even decades — before the classic movement symptoms begin. In this video, Doctor KDM explains the 7 early, often overlooked non-motor symptoms of Parkinson’s disease that many people mistake for normal ageing, stress, or unrelated health issues.

You’ll learn how subtle changes like loss of smell, chronic constipation, acting out dreams, dizziness when standing, sleep problems, mood changes, and erectile dysfunction can all be early signals during the prodromal phase — the critical period before diagnosis when the disease is already affecting the brain and nervous system.

Understanding these early signs isn’t about fear. It’s about awareness, early conversations with your doctor, and giving yourself the best chance to manage symptoms sooner, access support, and protect long-term brain health.

🔍 IN THIS VIDEO YOU’LL LEARN:
• Why Parkinson’s can begin 10–20 years before a tremor
• The science behind early non-motor symptoms
• How alpha-synuclein and Lewy bodies affect the brain, gut, and nervous system
• When a single symptom is common — and when a pattern becomes a red flag
• When to speak to your GP or request a neurology referral
• Why early recognition can improve quality of life and future planning

These early symptoms are extremely common on their own and usually have other causes. But when several appear together and persist over time, they may be the body’s first warning signs that something deeper is happening.

This video is designed to help you connect the dots, recognise patterns, and take proactive steps toward your health.

If you or a loved one are over 50 and experiencing a combination of persistent symptoms such as reduced sense of smell, long-standing constipation, sleep disturbances, new depression or anxiety, or dizziness on standing, it may be worth discussing these changes with a healthcare professional.

Early awareness leads to earlier support, earlier symptom management, and better long-term outcomes.
