Tremors That Become Worse Over Time
Typically, if the condition isn't addressed, hand tremors can get progressively worse. This means that over time, the tremor and its accompanying symptoms become more significant. This is commonly the case in people whose hand tremors are a result of Parkinson's disease, essential tremor or other neurological conditions.3National Institute Of Neurological Disorders And Stroke. ‘Tremor Fact Sheet | National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke.’ National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, 2021, www.ninds.nih.gov/Disorders/Patient-Caregiver-Education/Fact-Sheets/Tremor-Fact-Sheet
A doctor may recommend medications such as beta-blockers or tranquilizers, which may help control or even significantly improve these symptoms.3National Institute Of Neurological Disorders And Stroke. ‘Tremor Fact Sheet | National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke.’ National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, 2021, www.ninds.nih.gov/Disorders/Patient-Caregiver-Education/Fact-Sheets/Tremor-Fact-Sheet
