What Causes Severe Tremors In The Hands And Legs?
My son is 34 and his doctor has said that he has some of the symptoms of both essential tremors and Parkinson s disease but can not diagnosis him completely as either one. He has tremors in both hands and in his left leg very severely. He is steadily getting worse and I am wondering if there is something that it could be besides this. Please help with any information.

Hi,
The tremors are typical of neurological disorders like Parkinson’s or essential tremor.
Consult a neurologist and start the treatment at the earliest.
The symptoms can be managed to an extent by supportive treatment.
An MRI scan is required to rule out any central causes.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
