Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
i have a hand tremor which i developed 8 mos. ago. They put me on caradopa lowest dose. has not effected the tremor at all. it seems to happen when i m under pressure of any kind. also i cut back on salt intake about two yrs. ago. could that be triggering the tremor?
Salt intake and tremor relation is less likely in your case. It may be a familial problem .It can also be due to more serious condition like Parkinsonism in which along with tremors a person has shuffling gait, stooped posture mask like face and saliva drooling from corner of mouth.Tremor increases when you do work which suggests a cerebellar problem. Arrange an appointment to your physician . In most cases it resolves with the use of a beta blocker. Regards
