Hello XXXXXXX
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Tremors can be due to many causes and essential tremors is one type of it.
Young onset essential tremors is less common if no family history of such type.
Other treatable causes of tremors like hyperthyroidism, anxiety, cardiac illness should be evaluated.
What are the parts which have tremors in your body face, head, lips, hand, lower limbs. Any other medical illness.
You should get tested for Thyroid profile, vitamin B12, vitamin D3.
For treatment you may take propranolol or clonazepam.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
