Brief Answer:
Essential tremor, ion / vitamin deficiencies
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for the query,
A careful and keen evaluation of the tremors you are experiencing is needed. It might be useful to know if this is the first time you are experiencing these tremors or not. The fact that these are unilateral need a careful review.
The absence of pain or loss of motor function renders the possibility of what is called essential tremor most probable. This is a tremor that is really not associated to very serious disease. The fact that it is again one sided, makes this possibility more feasible. In case it were due to
stress, it would have been more likely to be bilateral.
A complete neurological review is however needed to be sure there is no other associated neurologic disease, that could explain why your symptoms are one sided. Everything being equal, this should be an essential tremor. Treatment is generally effective with common first lone drugs like
PropranoloL and
Primidone. the respective dosages and duration of therapy depend exclusively on the gravity of the disase, and clinical response to initial dosage. Compliance to therapy therefore is the mainstay of management.
Screening for common deficiencies of
Vitamins and microelements in blood could be potentially useful. It is not rare to find such symptoms associated with such deficiencies. Calcium,
Magnesium and Vitamin B complex deficiencies are so far the most common.
I propose you book an appointment with a
neurologist. Please feel free asking follow up questions through this forum in case you have any special concerns. Kind regards as I wish you the best of health.
