Essential Tremor Increases Dementia Risk

[Ben Carson News] Essential Tremor Increases Dementia Risk By Dr. Oz and Dr. Roizen, MDs Actress Katharine Hepburn and "Peanuts" creator Charles Schulz were both diagnosed during their lives with essential tremor, a visible shaking of the hands, head, and/or torso, often along with a quivering voice. It's usually diagnosed after age 65, and half the time it's linked to a genetic predisposition. For the rest of people, the cause is unknown — although it may be related to thyroid disease, metabolic problems, side effects of medications, or exposure to chemical toxins. Special: [#1 Worst Fish for Your Heart]( What is now known, however, is that having essential tremor puts the 7 million to 10 million Americans with the condition at increased risk for dementia. A recent study found that around 27% of people with essential tremor developed mild cognitive impairment, and 19% developed dementia. That’s about triple the expected rate in the general population. A prior study by the same researchers found that those with essential tremor who had a hard time falling asleep were also at increased risk of developing dementia. There are medications that help about 60% of people with essential tremor manage symptoms. These include the beta-blocker propranolol, antiseizure meds such as gabapentin, and Botox injections. Magnetic resonance-guided, high-intensity focused ultrasound is also used to target the thalamus in the brain — a transit point for messages about movement and sensation. If you sense the development of tremors or they are already noticeable, see a neurologist for your best treatment options. --------------------------------------------------------------- SPONSOR --------------------------------------------------------------- ADVERTORIAL According to a NASA cardiologist… this “heart-attack fish” can: Clog your artery with plaque Skyrocket “bad cholesterol” levels And KILL your heart cells … Even if you avoid salt or take Statins daily.
