A member asked:
Can essential tremor cause an intention tremor in addition to postural tremor?

Yes, some tremors appear difficult to specify precisely, and these different types are caused by varying mechanisms, with a variety of therapeutic interventions. Have a neurological movement disorder specialist evaluate and treat.

Essential tremors do not cause intention tremors. They can cause internal tremors that can be felt internally however. Essential tremors can be kinetic and postural tremors as well. Essential tremors do not need intentional movement like intentional tremors do. Essential tremors start at any age but usually after age 40.
