Do Involuntary Nodding Of Head Or Shivering Of Hands Indicate Parkinson’s Disease?

I have noticed in the last year that my husband s head sometimes moves (slight nod) when he is watching TV. This past Tuesday he read in front of a group and for the first time I noticed a slight shake in his hand. Are these considered early signs of Parkinson disease?

Ya, but that nod must be known to him. If you notify that to him,and he stops, then it's not Parkinson's. That shivering must persist irrespective of the situation and surroundings , not only when stressed out.
