A member asked:
Head shakes only when looking down at something or focusing. nothing else shakes.. could this be essential tremors? is there treatment?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
This could represent the earliest presentation of essential tremor but might also be start of cervical spasmodic torticollis, or anterocollis (a medication side effect). Treatment depends upon causation, so, check with your doctor.
