Patient's question:
Doctor, my husband has been acting a bit strange lately. He has been feeling internal tremors for these past few months, and they occasionally occur multiple times when he is excited or tired. I would like to ask, could my husband be suffering from essential tremor?Doctor's answer:
Essential tremor is a movement disorder, and its current cause is unclear. The tremor is the only clinical manifestation. Currently, your husband's condition cannot be definitively diagnosed as essential tremor. There are many possible causes of tremor, such as physiological tremor, psychogenic tremor, cerebellar tremor, dystonia, and others. This requires a follow-up visit to the hospital to rule out other diseases and confirm the diagnosis.
