Question: Is there a nutrient that will help decrease essential tremor? My doctor says it's not Parkinson's. Should I avoid certain foods?

Dr. Hibberd's Answer:

In my experience, tremor conditions are generally not well-controlled by dietary manipulation. Many medications may worsen tremor complaints, so I recommend you review your drug and supplement intake for any stimulants (weight-loss meds, amphetamines, and ADHD medications), decongestants (Sudafed and other decongestant meds), or other medications (caffeine, illicit drugs, alcohol excess /withdrawal, some asthma medications) that may be associated with tremor.

It clearly is time for further action, and if your doctor is not responsive to your concern, request a neurology consultation for a second opinion.
