Symptoms of Benign Essential Tremor
ET is generally not serious, but its severity may vary and worsen over time. Symptoms may include:
- Tremor that occurs when standing or moving the limbs, but not usually at rest
- Uncontrollable, rhythmic, up-and-down movement
- Shaking in hands, arms, head, voice, trunk, legs, or feet on both sides
- Shaking only in certain positions or during activity
- Trouble with fine motor skills, such as drawing, sewing, or playing an instrument
- Shaking that gets worse from caffeine, stress, fatigue, or heat
- Hearing Loss (Some cases are associated with hearing loss.)
- Problems with social, functional, or occupational abilities (More severe cases interfere with these abilities.)
To be considered as having ET, tremors must not be related to other health conditions.
