I'm recently diagnosed and I am in process of learning all I can about PD. Originally I thought my onset was within the last 5 years, but as I learn more I wonder. For many years when I start to eat, on my first swallow or two, I take in a large breath and hiccup. I mean really hiccup. When eating out I anticipate it and can conceal it, at home I just let it rip. My question is could this be PD related and perhaps be one of my early symptoms? Jim Dolan 58/58/?
