A member asked:
Is benign essential tremor related to my heat sensitivity?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
In Part, yes: Any stressor, such as extreme heat, pain, emotion of negative or positive character can cause an adrenaline surge by the body & temporarily worsen essential tremor. It does not worsen the disease & will dissipate shortly after the stressor is gone. Suggestion: stay out of the heat whenever possible! best of luck, rmh :).

Tremors&heat: Essential tremors is not affected by heat sensitivity----but essential tremors get worse when nervous, or anxious--so if heat produce anxiety, irritabilty, it can worsen tremors---.
