10 Causes of Dysphagia
Cause #10: Parkinson’s Disease
Parkinson’s disease is a chronic degenerative motor condition involving the central nervous system. The symptoms develop slowly with time. The earliest signs and symptoms of the disease often include rigidity, shaking, difficulty walking, and slowness of movements. As the disease develops, dementia, depression, and anxiety can also occur. Other associated symptoms include issues with sleep, and dysphagia.
While there is no cure for this condition, treatment is aimed at improvement of symptoms with anti-Parkinson medication.
