Can a bang to the head worsen Parkinson's disease?

by Symptom Advice on February 4, 2011

My grandad who has Parkinson's had a fall about 3 months ago and hasn't had much strength since but also his symptoms of Parkinson's seem to be worse.

Maybe he suffered a concussion? did you get him checked out by doctors?

Yes. He should go tell his doctor about it, and if he doesn't you should.

absolutely. parkinson's disease is a neurological disease, and is directly related to an underproduction of dopamine in certain parts of the brain. a severe blow to the head will definitely affect symptoms, thank of Muhammed Ali….repeated blows to the head may have actually caused his Parkinsons.
