Myth “tremor” ≠ Parkinson’s disease When your hands shake, you have Parkinson’s disease? It is easy for many people to equate tremors with Parkinson’s disease. It is common to find teenage children with hand tremors after strenuous exercise or stress, and parents will panic and take their children to the doctor, exclaiming that the child has Parkinson’s and asking for help, but in fact it is idiopathic tremor. Some diseases are not Parkinson’s disease, but behave similarly, such as hyperthyroidism patients also have tremors, and some are secondary Parkinson’s syndrome rather than primary Parkinson’s disease, for example, people with carbon monoxide poisoning, cerebral arteriosclerosis, etc., may have secondary tremors similar to Parkinson’s symptoms. Therefore, hand tremors do not necessarily mean Parkinson’s disease. Experts suggest that if you find a shaking limb, it is essential to consult a specialist in a timely manner, not to “turn a blind eye”, and not to “panic”.
