What does essential tremor look like after it is severe

Essential tremor is typically characterized by rhythmic, abduction, adduction-like tremor and flexion-extension tremor of the hand, which may be deformed when the patient writes. The head and vocal muscles may also be affected, manifesting as severe postural tremor of the patient's hands and tremor of the head, as well as difficulty vocalizing and trembling. If it is more severe, it will affect the lower limbs, affect the function of the legs, and cause tremors and weakness in the legs.

Once clinical symptoms appear, it is necessary to go to the hospital as soon as possible for systematic examination, and then treat the symptoms after clarifying**. During the ** period, the patient must maintain a calm mind and avoid anxiety and tension.

The only symptom of essential tremor is tremor, which has occasionally been reported to be accompanied by intonation and slight gait abnormalities, usually starting with the upper extremities and affecting the upper extremities, but can also affect the head, legs, trunk, vocalization, and facial muscles. Presents with thinking tremor, which may be motil, intentional, and resting.

Tremor may be worse with movement toward the purpose. With the course of the disease and increasing age, the frequency gradually decreases and the amplitude gradually increases.

In this case, you should go to the hospital for a check-up, and if it is serious, it will affect your quality of life.

What is the current situation, you can try Chinese medicine**.

Essential tremor is a common movement disorder, the root cause of which is mostly the loss of the brain, liver and kidney, and the internal movement of liver wind. It is often said that essential tremor is a terrible disease, and I am afraid that once I get it, I will suffer from an incurable disease! In fact, when we really understand the pathology and pathogenesis of the disease, you will find that essential tremor is not as terrible as we imagined, it is just a special disease, not an incurable disease.

What is essential tremor.

Essential tremor is a functional disease, a neurological disorder, that manifests only as a motor symptom of tremor, and is considered to be a slow-progressing, symptomatic disorder.

1. Benign movement disorders. The main symptoms of essential tremor are random shaking of the hands, head and possibly other parts of the body, rhythmic shaking, and generally when the condition is mild, the shaking amplitude is large, fast, easy to be controlled by oneself, and often appears when it is completely relaxed or nervous. In severe cases, the amplitude is small, but it lasts for a long time and is difficult to control.

Rarely, patients develop tremor of the lower limbs, which worsens with concentration, nervousness, fatigue, and hunger, and disappears temporarily after drinking alcohol and worsens the next day. The shaking is more obvious when holding chopsticks, serving tea and pouring water, threading needles and threads, etc., which is also a characteristic of essential tremor.

Essential tremor is okay, but you need to find the right way to do it, and you can't blindly seek medical attention.

Because patients with essential tremor are not shaking all the time, but when they do a certain action, the shaking will be very serious, such as holding a cup to drink water, the closer the cup is to the mouth, the more severe the shaking will be; When some people pick up vegetables, the closer the chopsticks are to the dish, the more severe the shaking; There are also people who write crookedly and are completely unrecognizable. Lao Zhang is very special, his hands are usually normal when he rests, but his hands are shaking when he pulls the zipper.

Essential tremor progresses slowly after the onset, and the symptoms worsen year by year, and in severe cases, it can bring many inconveniences to the patient's daily life, work, social interaction, writing, etc. It will not only make essential tremor patients suffer from the disease, but also seriously reduce the quality of life of essential tremor patients, so that they will lose the ability to take care of themselves.

1. Rhythmic abduction of the hand, showing adduction tremor and flexion-extension tremor, pronation and supination tremor (similar to Parkinson's disease) is very rare. Another area that is commonly affected is the craniocervical muscles.

2. Patients involving the trunk and bilateral lower limbs are rare and only appear in the late stage of the course of the disease, and the degree is milder than that of the upper limbs. Predominantly, postural tremor can contain a motil, intentional, or resting tremor component, and the tremor may exacerbate the frequency of tremor in movement directed toward the destination.

3. Tremor accompanied by abnormal intonation and slight gait. Patients usually start with the upper extremity, which mainly affects the upper limb and has a symmetrical onset of bilateral upper extremities, but it can also have a unilateral upper limb onset. Once the upper limbs are affected, it often progresses upward to the head, face, tongue, and jaw.

4. The rhythmic abduction of the hand is adduction-like tremor and flexion-extension tremor, and pronation and supin-like tremor are very rare. Writing may be distorted, but it does not appear as too small, and another area that is commonly affected is the craniocervical muscles. The head, tongue, or vocal muscles can be involved and manifest as severe postural tremor and head tremor in the patient's hand, including vertical "nodding" movements and horizontal "shaking the head" movements.

Tremors of the soft palate and tongue can cause dysphonia.

Patients with tremor can cause difficulty in moving, reduced social interactions, and eventually loss of labor, difficulty in self-care, and the disease becomes more severe with the duration of the illness.
