A member asked:
18yr old son with v. good health constant tremor in both hands since early childhood. it is worse at times of anxiety or stress but is not very noticeable when holding something he can preform tasks with no trouble. what does this sound like?

The shakes with anxi: It sounds as if your son has a benign essential tremor. These increase with anxiety but do not worsen over time. They can run in families. They do not cause more harm, hence they are ‘benign’.
