5. Fatigue
Most people who are diagnosed with something, like COVID-19, mental health problems, physical health problems, or even big changes in their lives, have fatigue as one of their symptoms. Despite how unbelievable it sounds, Parkinson’s disease is no exception, and according to research, even if the majority of symptoms are mild, people with PD often experience fatigue early on in the condition’s progression.
What’s interesting about this is that it’s possible to feel exhausted without experiencing any other symptoms, but it’s also possible to have additional problems, such as trouble sleeping, discomfort, or even despair. Fatigue might be triggered and worsened by stress, which is exactly why patients need to call their doctors ASAP.
