I have recently been officially diagnosed as having essential tremor by a neurologist even though a PCP preliminarily diagnosed mine years ago. It is best to get a medical diagnosis to rule out Parkinsons or something else. You will have more peace of mind with a correct diagnosis and will know how to proceed with treatment. Mine is sporadic and unpredictable as to when it will get really bad as opposed to just being mild. I hate meds so I only take something as needed. As someone mentioned Propanolol helps. A 6 oz glass of red wine has the same benefit, however I rarely use either of those options. If I dwell on it, it becomes worse. I use white noise and deep breathing at bedtime, and I generally sleep well. Sometimes, the simplest solutions are the most effective, but please get a proper diagnosis first.
