What are the symptoms of essential tremor?

Patient's question:

Lately, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended checking with the neurology department. Could you please tell me what are the symptoms of essential tremor?

Doctor's answer:

Idiopathic tremor is related to intergenerational inheritance, showing a familial pattern. Idiopathic tremor is primarily characterized by tremors, starting from the upper limbs and gradually affecting the head, face, lower limbs, torso, etc. However, tremors do not necessarily indicate idiopathic tremor. It is recommended to visit the local hospital's neurology department for further follow-up, improve cranial magnetic resonance, electromyography, and other examinations to further clarify the diagnosis. Treatment with propranolol, small doses of alcohol, etc., can be used.
