Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but recently my hands have been trembling severely, and over the past two days, I've also started experiencing head tremors. When I went to the hospital for treatment, they diagnosed me with essential tremor. Hello doctor, what exactly is this condition? What kind of help do you need: What exactly is essential tremor?Doctor's answer:
Essential Tremor (also known as familial essential tremor) is an autosomal dominant genetic disease, the most common extrapyramidal disease, and the most common tremor disorder, with approximately 60% of patients having a family history. Essential tremor is a single-symptom disease, and postural tremor is the only clinical manifestation of this condition. Postural tremor refers to tremor caused when a limb is held in a certain position, which naturally disappears when the limb is completely relaxed. The tremor in this disease is commonly seen in the hands, followed by head tremor.
