What is the age onset of essential tremor?
The typical age of onset of essential tremor would be in the fifties, although it may appear in childhood in certain cases and much later than the fifties in others. Once present, it tends to persist and it can become gradually more troubling as time goes by. But we’re talking about years or even decades in terms of the progression of essential tremor. People do find, typically, that it can become more problematic. But, again, only as years go by. Not usually as the course of weeks or months. Like most tremors, or most neurological symptoms, essential tremor does become more pronounced during moments of stress or when people are fatigued.
