Is Tremors A Sign Of Parkinson's Disease?
Hi, recently i have been noticing that when i hold a pen in mid-air, i will start to have tremors. It is not really a big tremor but just a slight one. This is starting to worry me as i'm afraid i would have parkinson's disease (my grandfather suffered from it) . I'm only 16 so i wonder if it is possible to get parkinson's disease at this age. My exams are also coming up and i guess i've been stress too so i'm not really sure what's the cause of it?

Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic
Tremors at young age is due to stress or anxiety. It is not due to parkinson disease. Only basis of tremor, we never make diagnosis of parkinson. May be due to exam, you are in stress and in that case, you should do some relaxation exercise like JPMR or deep breathing exercise. It would help you to stay calm.
Thanks
