Some of the signs and symptoms that your aging love one might be dealing with essential tremors include:
- Tremors that begin gradually.
- Tremors that generally begin on one side of the body but may spread to other areas of the body.
- Tremors that worsen with movement of the body part .
- Tremors that begin in one or both hands.
- Movements of the head that resemble nodding “yes” or shaking their head “no” repeatedly.
- Tremors that are worsened by emotional stress.
- Tremors that get worse when your aging parent is tired.
- Tremors that worsen when your senior consumes caffeine.

Essential tremor is frequently misdiagnosed as Parkinson’s disease, but these are different conditions. People who experience tremors are eight times more likely to be experiencing essential tremor than they are to actually have Parkinson’s disease. It is extremely important to get the proper diagnosis so that your parent can get the treatment that is right for their needs.
Essential tremor can be a life-changing symptom that influences nearly everything that your aging parent does each day. Starting elder care for them can be a powerful way to help your senior continue to pursue the active, engaged, independent, and fulfilling lifestyle that they desire, while also managing their condition and helping them to stay healthy, safe, and comfortable as they age in place.
