What Are The Symptoms Of Parkinson's Disease?

Hi my husband has browny/ beige watery fluid on his pillow in the mornings about two or three times a month. It seems to be increasing in volume lately and last night was about a tablespoon ful. He was diagnosed with Parkinson's nearly four years ago.

Neurologist 's  Response
Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

The main symptoms of Parkinson's disease are motor: slowness of all movements, rigidity of arms and legs and tremors of hands and feet.

Later on they may have falls and balancing issues.

Some people with PD do have increased salivation, which could result in secretions on the pillow.

Medications such as glycopyrolate and botox injections can help reduce the excess salivation.

I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.

Wishing you good health,
