How can I be sure I have essential tremor?

The only symptom of essential tremor is tremor, which has occasionally been reported to be accompanied by anomalies in intonation and gait. Patients usually start with the upper extremities and mainly affect the upper limbs, but can also affect the head, legs, trunk, voice, and facial muscles. Presents with postural tremor and may contain both motor, intentional, or resting tremor components.

Tremor may be worse with movement toward the purpose. The frequency of tremor is 4 8Hz. The frequency at the onset of the disease is 8 12 Hz, and the frequency gradually decreases and the amplitude gradually increases with the increase of the course of the disease and age.

The diagnosis of essential tremor also requires the patient to go to the neurology department or functional neurosurgery department of a tertiary hospital under the evaluation of a specialist, and confirm whether it is essential tremor after a comprehensive assessment of physical examination, medical history, medication and instrument screening. second, whether nervousness, hunger, exertion, and tremors will worsen; Third, whether the hand tremors after drinking alcohol will be temporarily relieved and worsened the next day.

Essential tremor symptoms disappear after drinking some liquor, and worsen when you are nervous. Commonly used essential tremor drugs, propranolol and Almar are first-line drugs, although it can effectively control tremor, essential tremor is a benign tremor, which generally does not progressively worsen with age, in addition, drugs against essential tremor have serious problems, so it is recommended that patients take drugs ** when essential tremor is generally used when needed, and can not be taken when not needed. Severe symptoms may lead to the consideration of a surgical brain pacemaker**.

Essential tremor is a more common primary tremor in clinical practice, with 1 3 patients having a family history and can start at all ages, most of them start in young adults, but a few patients can start at an early age.

Consciously or unconsciously, all kinds of tremors, inconvenience, hands, feet or head do not listen to commands.

The harms of essential tremor are: 1 It greatly affects the patient's social situation, and some patients will have low self-esteem and depression. 2 There are few situations that affect daily work and life.

3 When writing, there is no way to complete the first stroke of writing with trembling hands, which seriously affects the patient's life and work, which is the most serious impact on the patient.

How can you tell if you have essential tremor? First of all, essential tremor is a nervous system disease, and it is also a non-organic lesion. And if it meets the above symptoms, it is most likely essential tremor.

Essential tremor is a chronic neurological disease, with hand tremors and head tremors being the most common symptoms. Due to the relatively low incidence, coupled with the heterogeneity of the disease and the diversity of genetic types, it is more difficult to identify these genetic and environmental risk factors, because the disease is unknown, so there are no special preventive measures, and more than 60% of patients become Parkinson's after the onset of the disease.

The aggravation of essential tremor is mainly due to some bad habits in life and the fact that I do not pay attention to my condition.

1.Eating an unhealthy diet.

Now because of work, there are many people who order some takeout in a few free time, or eat some snacks for convenience and convenience, but eating these for a long time is not good for the body, the most important thing is that some instant noodles are common foods in life, but they have been threatening their bodies in terms of health, and these conditions will have a certain impact on the progress of essential tremor if they continue for a long time.

2.Irregular living habits Nowadays, young people devote a lot of time to work in order to live, in order to live for a long time, causing a great burden on their bodies, and because they are young, the resistance to mobile phones is very low, and they are also playing with mobile phones in very little rest time, and they do not let the body take a good rest, and at the same time, the excessive overdraft of the body also increases the probability of the progress of essential tremor.

3.Minor illnesses do not pay attention to recuperation.

In addition, the most important thing is that when you notice tremor in your body, you don't notice it, and even if you find it, it's because you don't have a specific understanding of the symptoms, so these inattention or lack of attention are the main reasons for the progression of the disease.

How can I tell if I have essential tremor? In recent years, the incidence of many diseases has been increasing, and essential tremor is one of them. The symptoms are far-reaching and the consequences are severe.

However, many people do not understand the diagnosis method of essential tremor, do not know whether they have essential tremor and hesitate, and often miss the best period. So, how can you tell if you have essential tremor?

1. Essential tremor often has voice tremor, but no voice decline.

2. Inquire about the course of the disease, because the course of essential tremor progresses rapidly, while the course of essential tremor develops very slowly, and the condition does not change much in ten or twenty years.

3. CT or MRI examination of the brain should also be done to rule out some other organic lesions in the brain.

4. Patients with essential tremor have no motor loss, increased muscle tone and postural reflex disorders, no obstacles to voluntary joint movements and body posture and stability, and no dysmetria, ataxia and nystagmus.

5. Essential tremor can be relieved 2-4 hours after drinking, but the symptoms are more severe the next day.

6. Exclude other lesions. A neurological examination is done to detect other symptoms, and blood tests are taken if necessary to rule out other lesions. If tremor due to hyperthyroidism is ruled out, blood should be drawn for thyroxine testing; In younger patients, blood is drawn to test the absorbance of copper oxidase to rule out Wilson's disease.

Through the above introduction, I believe you have a certain understanding that the embankment of thousands of miles collapses in the anthill, and some inadvertent little things in life may cause very big adverse consequences. Everyone can take precautions on a daily basis. If you find any abnormalities in your body, please go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible, so as not to delay the condition of the patient, the patient must do a good job in postoperative care, pay attention to personal hygiene in daily life, and maintain a good living environment.

The diagnosis of essential tremor is generally based on the following evidence, and the typical symptoms of essential tremor appear, which are manifested as obvious and persistent tremors in the hands and forearms, mainly postural tremor and action tremor. In general, most are not accompanied by neurologic signs other than gear phenomena.

Some patients present with only head tremor but no dystonia. The disease usually lasts more than three years, there is a history of essential tremor similar to that of a family genetic member, and the tremor is lessened after alcohol consumption. In addition, it is necessary to rule out factors that cause physiologic hypertremor, drug-induced factors, a history of neurological trauma, and tremor due to psychological factors to confirm the diagnosis.

It is worse with concentration, nervousness, fatigue, and hunger, and in most cases disappears temporarily after drinking alcohol and worsens the next day, which is also a clinical feature of essential tremor.

Essential tremor refers to the uncontrollable tremor of the patient's body, which will also have a certain impact on the patient's life, so it is important to pay more attention to alleviate the disease. The cause of the disease may be caused by aging, family genetics, environmental factors, etc., so if you want to ** the disease, you must find the right one to control it.

The main manifestation of essential tremor is mainly tremor, which will cause tremors in the patient's hands in the early stage, and the early symptoms of this disease are similar to Parkinson's, and they are more likely to appear in middle-aged and elderly people. This sudden tremor is more likely to occur during activity, and the symptoms are relatively less severe after rest, and if not performed in time**, the tremor from the hand will gradually spread to the whole body.

Many patients choose drugs when they are a**: patients can take drugs such as primidone or arolol**. Primidone is a commonly used antiepileptic drug.

However, in the early stage of medication, there will be dizziness or nausea, vomiting, etc. However, many *** will reach tolerance after a few days of medication. In arolol, this reduces the amplitude of postural tremor as well as action tremor.

Adverse reactions include bradycardia or vertigo. Therefore, the changes in heart rhythm and blood pressure should be closely observed during the medication, and if the heart rhythm is less than 60 beats or there is significant hypotension, the dosage should be reduced. This kind of medicine can achieve a short-term control effect, if there is an emergency, you can take it urgently, it is not recommended to take this kind of western medicine for a long time.

The tremor of this disease, which worsens with concentration, nervousness, fatigue, and hunger, and in most cases disappears temporarily after drinking alcohol and worsens the next day, which is also a clinical feature of essential tremor. Essential tremor** is unclear and can be confused with tremor produced by other disorders.

The occurrence of essential tremor has caused many middle-aged and elderly friends to suffer from a variety of symptoms in their healthy lives. The family's former harmony and tranquility have also been destroyed. In this regard, we should fundamentally understand this disease and suppress its contagion.

We can identify essential tremor by its symptomatic manifestations and thus have a positive effect on it**. So, what are the symptoms that distinguish essential tremor?

1. Muscle stiffness: The limbs and body of patients with essential tremor usually become very stiff. The early stages of the lesion usually begin on one limb.

At the beginning, I feel that the movement of one limb is inflexible and stiff, and gradually worsens, and I have difficulty in moving slowly, and even do some daily life movements.

2. Resting tremor: tremor is often the earliest manifestation of the disease, usually starting from the distal end of the upper limb on one side, mainly the thumb, index finger and middle finger, which is manifested as the movement of the fingers as if they are rubbing balls or counting bills. It then gradually extends to the ipsilateral lower and contralateral limbs, and in the late stage may affect the jaw, lips, tongue, and head.

3. Slow movement: In the early stage, due to the rigidity of the upper arm muscles and finger muscles, the patient's upper limbs are often unable to make fine movements, such as untying shoelaces, buttoning and other actions become much slower than before, or can not be completed smoothly at all. Writing also gradually became difficult, the handwriting was crooked, and the writing became smaller and smaller.

4. Special posture: Although the patient's whole body muscles can be affected and the muscle tone increases, the flexor muscle tension is higher than that of the extensor muscle at rest, so the patient has special postures: head forward tilt, trunk slightly flexed, upper arm adduction, elbow joint flexion, wrist slightly extended, metacarpophedral joint flexion and interphalangeal joint straightened, thumb to palm, hip and knee joint slightly flexed.

The above is a detailed description of the symptoms of essential tremor. If the above phenomenon occurs, you must actively go to a regular hospital for it**. In order not to delay the best time for the disease and cause greater harm to the patient's health, it is necessary to detect essential tremor as early as possible.

Diagnostic criteria: 1. The tremor lasts for at least several years, and the symptoms produce functional impairment 2. The presence of visible and persistent postural tremor, including movements of the hand or forearm with or without motor essential tremor. Essential tremor: Tremor in the upper extremities can be asymmetrical or symmetrical, and tremors can affect other parts of the body problem.

Exclusion Criteria: 1. History of trauma before the tremor began 2. Evidence of essential tremor on clinical recommendations 3. Tremor with sudden onset of phenomena 4. Physiological tremor of known cause that is stable 5. Concurrent or recent use of drugs that can produce tremor 6. Appearance of other neurological signs of initiation, but excluding cogwheel rigidity and essential tremor-related movements. Characteristic refers to the repetitive voluntary movements of the contralateral limb that induce cogwheel-like rigidity on the examined limb.

Essential tremor is a movement disorder, including congenital family hereditary and acquired essential tremor caused by various factors, its symptoms are mainly involuntary shaking of hands, head and legs, especially when nervous excitement or concentration will be aggravated, aggravation of the condition will seriously affect daily life. Essential tremor, also known as familial tremor, is a common family history disorder, according to statistics, about 60% of patients have a family history.

1. Essential tremor is a common movement disorder in clinical practice, and the only manifestation is tremor.

2. Essential tremor is a chronic progressive disease, which progresses slowly or does not progress for a long time, but it will worsen year by year with age. It progresses upwards to the head, face, tongue, and jaw, and again affects the trunk and bilateral lower limbs.

3. Essential tremor is the tremor of the hands, head, legs, and whole body shaking under specific circumstances, such as nervousness and excitement, holding things, doing fine work, concentration, hunger and fatigue, writing, etc.

4. Essential tremor will be reduced or disappear after drinking, and the next day will still tremble.

5. Essential tremor is 60% inherited in families.

6. Essential tremor is a functional disease, and there is no organic lesion in the body, which cannot be detected by the instrument, and can only be diagnosed by existing symptoms.
