What to do about postural tremor

If the symptoms of postural tremor are mild and do not affect the patient’s life, for example, it does not affect the patient’s movements such as dressing and eating, this situation does not require drug intervention, because this progression is generally slow. If the patient’s postural tremor progresses more severely and affects the patient’s daily life, causing the patient to be unable to dress or have problems with writing or eating, it is recommended that the patient can take oral propranolol, which is a beta-blocker, to improve this symptom, and it will be effective in most people. In some cases, if the postural tremor is severe, some alcohol can be taken orally to improve the normal symptoms. Postural tremor is mainly seen in idiopathic tremor disease, with age, the amplitude of the tremor may slowly have increased, but generally this kind of tremor will not affect the patient’s life.
