A member asked:
I have orthostatic tremor but have been told it is non organic what does this mean please?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: When doctors are not sure of why a person has an issue, terms such as non-organic, non-anatomical, non-physiologic, are commonly used. These may imply that the doctor believes these are of psychological origin. Discuss at length with your doctor, as regardless of cause, treatment can improve your situation.
