Medical Conditions - Essential Tremors

Essential tremors are the widely prevalent trembling neurologic disorder characterized by uncontrolled and rhythmic shaking of the head, arms, legs, body, and voice. It is gradual in onset, and more noticeable on any one side of the body, aggravated with movement, stress, fatigue, or extreme temperature, and a 'yes-yes' or 'no-no' motion of the head. Though it does not produce serious complications, it interferes with day-to-day activities.
