Does Dan Patrick have parkinsons?

[baller21]

Every time I see him he's constantly moving. Today his hand was visibly shaking while holding the microphone.

Maybe he was out too late last night? He likes to drink

 

[cycloneG]

Hangovers can do that. I've heard.

 

[wxman1]

Possible but I doubt it right now.

 

[Cyclonesince78]

He just gets excited when he holds long circular objects.

A friend told me?

A friend told me?

I just keep drinking. No hangovers.

googled it and just found others wondering the same thing. However,I did learn that his real name is Dan Pugh. Patrick is his middle name.

Well he definitely made the right choice on name change.

I was reading a question in Golf magazine one time (I think it was rule questions) that was submitted by Dan Pugh from Bristol, CT. You weren't fooling me, Dan Patrick!

It could be an essential tremor. With Parkinson's you shake a lot when resting or holding something. With an essential tremor you shake when holding something like a fork or pop can but not while your arm is at rest.

It sucks.

Pugh, glad we figured that out.

That's interesting. I've had that since I was a teenager. If I start my right hand trembling I can't stop it without resting it on something. It's gotten worse as I've aged and definitely after lifting weights or straining it. Or when I get nervous. I'll have to look that up.

Most muscles shake after working out due to the tension you put them under - so that is normal. But if you hold your hand out without holding anything and it is noticeably shaking you may have essential tremor. It makes certain social events difficult or embarrassing.

Like flippy cup? Or darts?

Yes, he has Parkinson's. Watch him on the Olympics interview the 10m air gun gold medalist girl. His right hand was shaking like a leaf in an earthquake. Poor feller.

Especially if it's an unopened pop can.

I agree, his real name stinks.

Yeah that doesn't mean it's definitely Parkinson's.

On the rare occasion that I'm home to see his radio show on Audible, I've noticed that he shakes pretty frequently.
