WHAT ARE THE ESSENTIAL TRUEIT THRUMS YOU HAVE? HOW ARE THEY DIFFERENT FROM PARKINSON’S Disorder?
According to Prof. Tan, the tremors typically occur during certain postures or actions, such as drinking a beer. This is why shakes are referred to as action tremors in ET. These weak behaviors can produce things like writing or brushing your teeth challenging.
And it’s not only the arms. Often, the spasms properly be accompanied with a quivering tone in your speech, excessive head-nodding and in some cases, numbness in your arms or legs.
It is common for spasms to happen in many parts of the body at once in ET, according to Prof. Tan. ” Around 10 per cent to 25 per cent of ET patients also experience head tremors, and 10 per cent experience voice tremors” . ,
Meanwhile, in Parkinson’s disease,” the tremors occur even when at rest, for example, when the hand is resting on a table or lap ( called a rest tremor ) as well as during specific actions or postures”, according to Prof Tan.
ET often occurs in both arms, while the spasms of Parkinson’s disease may start from only one part.  ,” Both forms of numbness may get aggravated by anxiety and anxiety”, he said, adding that ET is 20 times more common than Parkinson’s disorder.
CAN HAVING ESSENTIAL TREMOR INCREASE YOUR RISK OF PARKINSON’S Health?
“ET people have a very small but higher chance of being diagnosed with Parkinson’s as compared to the general population”, said Prof Tan.
” Some genetic variants related to ET are even related to degenerative diseases, which suggests combines in the process causing Parkinson’s and ET, and the way the mind is affected, resulting in spasms”.
