Filipino boxing multi-champion Manny Pacquiao could suffer from Parkinson's disease, says Rústico Jiménez, president of the Association of Private Hospitals of the Philippines .

The neurologist, during a radio interview in the Philippines, details that the pugilist presents stuttering and trembling hands, the first symptoms of the disease, according to information published in the Excelsior.

So that you know what the suffering that Pacquiao could have, in an interview for GetQoralHealth , the neurologist Mayela Rodríguez explains what it is, its symptoms and main characteristics:

The doctor specifies that, although reflexes are rapid, Parkinson's disease is reflected in the movement of the 34-year-old boxer's hands, which would lead to his professional retirement with 54 wins, five losses and two draws.

Other specialists have indicated that the disease is the cause of the last two defeats of Pacquiao, against the American Timothy Bradley and the Mexican Juan Manuel Marquez.

However, the brain tests that were made by the boxer, after the knockout he received during the fight against Juan Manuel Marquez in Las Vegas did not show any brain damage, although he lost consciousness for a few seconds.

Beware of blows to the head!

In information published by the portal The world is , the doctor Raqyel Fortun, forensic pathologist from the Philippines , points out that a sudden blow to the head is very dangerous.

When the head receives a blow, the brain runs the risk of losing some connections and presenting slight hemorrhages, because it is not fixed to the skull, which can trigger diseases such as Parkinson's disease.

In addition, the doctor Henrik Zetterberg, of the Sahlgrenska Academy of the University of Göteborg , in Sweden, points out that the constant blows in the head detonate brain damage by trauma, whose symptoms are less mental agility, lack of coordination and difficulty in elaborating speeches.
