What does familial tremor symptom have

summary

Recently, I found that my grandfather seems to be a little strange. His hand always vibrates slightly. Sometimes he can't take things and walk steadily. He went to the hospital for examination. The doctor said it might be familial tremor and only prescribed medication. Now let's talk about the symptoms of familial tremor.

What does familial tremor symptom have

Symptom 1: primary tremor is a common movement disorder. Also known as idiopathic tremor, benign tremor. It often has family history, so it is also called hereditary tremor or familial tremor. Postural tremor is the only clinical manifestation of the disease. The tremor of this disease is common in the hand, followed by head tremor, few patients have lower limb tremor.

Symptom 2: tremor initially starts from the distal part of the upper limb, especially the tremor of the fingers. The patient's muscles are stiff, and the upper limb can't do fine movements, so it is difficult to write, and the words are crooked, and the smaller the words are, which is called "overhandwriting". Patients also often sit, facial expression rigid, do not blink, eyes staring forward, like wearing a mask, forming a "mask face.".

Symptom 3: the main symptom of idiopathic tremor is muscle rigidity. Due to the increase of muscle tension, when the limbs move passively, the muscle tension always keeps the same. No matter what angle the limbs stretch or bend to, they feel a kind of uniform resistance, just like when they stretch and bend a lead tube.

matters needing attention

The tremor frequency of each patient is basically fixed, and the frequency of most patients slows down with the course of disease, while the tremor amplitude increases with age. If the symptoms are more serious, it is also possible that surgical brain pacemaker can better control the symptoms and relieve the side effects of drugs.
