Hi im new here and wondering if its possible for a person my age (19) to start showing symptoms of Parkinson's Disease? The reason I ask is because I've always had some shaking in my hands regardless if im calm, nervous or excited but its slowly been getting worse and now their is rarely a time where i dont notice my hands shaking. Most of the time its just subtle but occasionally the shaking in my hands becomes much more prominent and its worrying me. So back to my original question can a person my age have this disease? If so should I get checked out by a doctor now or is it okay to wait? Thanks.
Illness can happen at any age. Yes, you could have Parkinsons, no, it is not likely. There are other things that may be the cause, such as non-essential tremor.
