The main symptom of benign fasciculation syndrome is focal or widespread involuntary muscle activity (fasciculation). [1] The benign twitches usually have a constant location. [2] Other common symptoms are generalized fatigue or weakness, paraesthesia or numbness, and muscle cramping or spasms. [1]
People showing signs of psychomotor agitation may be experiencing mental tension and anxiety, which comes out physically as: fast or repetitive movements; movements that have no purpose; movements that are not intentional; These activities are the subconscious mind's way of trying to relieve tension [citation needed]. Often people experiencing ...
Investigations may be performed to identify underlying disease processes that may have led to the development of symptoms or autonomic neuropathy. Symptomatic treatment is available for many symptoms associated with dysautonomia, and some disease processes can be directly treated. Depending on the severity of the dysfunction, dysautonomia can ...
NMT is a diverse disorder. As a result of muscular hyperactivity, patients may present with muscle cramps, stiffness, myotonia-like symptoms (slow relaxation), associated walking difficulties, hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating), myokymia (quivering of a muscle), fasciculations (muscle twitching), fatigue, exercise intolerance, myoclonic jerks and other related symptoms.
Post-exertional malaise is a worsening of symptoms after minimal physical or mental activity, [6] and is a cardinal symptom of myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). [7] Both PEM and exercise intolerance are common in long COVID. [8] [9] Orthostatic intolerance (OI) occurs in ME/CFS. OI includes exercise intolerance as one ...
Four motor symptoms are considered cardinal signs in PD: slowness of movement (bradykinesia), tremor, rigidity, and postural instability. [1] Typical for PD is an initial asymmetric distribution of these symptoms, where in the course of the disease, a gradual progression to bilateral symptoms develops, although some asymmetry usually persists.
Hyperkinetic movement disorders refer to dyskinesia, or excessive, often repetitive, involuntary movements that intrude upon the normal flow of motor activity. Hypokinetic movement disorders fall into one of four subcategories: akinesia (lack of movement), hypokinesia (reduced amplitude of movements), bradykinesia (slow movement), and rigidity ...
In two observed cases, PED preceded any symptoms of Parkinson's Disease by 1.5 and 5 years. Although a rare indicator, PED can be an early sign of the disorder, suggesting they are related. [9] In one case a patient with PED showed evidence of dopamine depletion revealed by a dopamine transporter SPECT scan.
