Hello,
Clinical examination will help in differentiating between Parkinson's disease and essential tremors, the two most common causes of tremors. In PD, tremors occur at rest and reduce on performing any action.
On the other hand, in essential tremors, there are no tremors at rest and they are brought on by action or activity. In your case, it seems to be essential tremors.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Sudhir Kumar, Neurologist
