You might know that Parkinson’s disease can affect your movement or balance. But did you know that it could also affect your voice? Or your sense of smell? Learn more about some of the early — and lesser-known — signs of Parkinson’s:

5 Early Signs of Parkinson’s Disease You Didn’t Know About The early signs of Parkinson’s disease aren’t always easy to spot. Here are 5 of the ones you might not be as familiar with.

I belong to a family of doctors. From the early days of my childhood, I would listen to my family’s discussions about medicine. I was always fascinated by the healthcare field. I earned a medical degree in Pakistan; however, when I came to the United States I could not work as a physician due to family obligations. For this reason, I decided to go into ultrasound.

There is a misconception about the Ultrasound field. Few say, “Ultrasound is so easy, you put the camera and take pictures” However, there is far more to the job. Sonographers are the eyes of radiologists. We have a big responsibility to identify any pathology for the radiologist to diagnose. While rewarding, the ultrasound field can be a demanding career. My advice to aspiring sonographers is to remain focused for every ultrasound test. They need to be compassionate, have good communication skills, and must maintain their composure in high-stress situations. As a sonographer, one is never done learning. New equipment and techniques are implemented each year. There is always room to improve. One must stay ahead of the curve through dedicated learning.” - Uzma J., Ultrasound Technologist
