What are the 15 Symptoms Indicating Parkinson's Disease?

15. Hyperhidrosis and Anhidrosis

Although it may not seem serious, hyperhidrosis — excessive sweating — is another symptom of Parkinson's disease. Individuals tend to experience hyperhidrosis primarily on the bottoms of their feet, their palms, or the upper parts of the body. Some report severe night sweats that interrupt their sleep. Both Parkinson's itself and medications can cause this issue; in the case of the latter, doctors may be able to alleviate the symptom by adjusting the dosage. Anhidrosis or hypohidrosis is the opposite issue, causing a lack of sweating. This symptom is usually due to medications but may also be caused by the disease itself.
