Tremor and muscle problem.

[Adrigol]

I'm a 23 year old male. I've been active in sports my whole life and have worked out in the past without any problem. Recently however I've been having uncontrolable shaking of my fingers when i move them and also uncontrolable shaking in my neck and head when i talk to people or when i just stay still at times. Not only are those things affecting my social life, but now when i try to work out, using weights, my whole body shakes and i have trouble finishing the workout cause of this. It's as if any time i use my muscles to do something like picking something up that would usually be easy, now my muscles shake when i do this. The neorogist said i had essential tremor, but is it possible i have something else and he just misdiognosed me??? I used to live a normal athletic life but i'm having trouble doin this now.

hi, hope you are feeling better.
i'd consider seeking a 2nd opinion if i doubted the diagnosis of my neurologist. and it did happen to me. i was diagnosed as epileptic in error.
it can't hurt.
