Can A Non-rest Tremor Turn Into A Real Tremor?

You can have both Parkinson's and Essential Tremor at the same time. I also think that sometimes it isn't a clear cut situation. My husband has PD. I noticed that his hands shook when he was watching TV. I have also seen his hand shake when he was carrying something, so presumably not a resting tremor.

In your case, having a tremor when standing on the ball of your feet could be a muscular issue rather than a Parkinson's issue. Strengthening your legs might stop it.

I only had tremors in my hands and that was for 16 years and then in 2016 I was diagnosed with Parkinson and given carbidopa levedopa and the tremors almost went away they come back when I'm under a lot of stress like a funeral or exercising but go away as long as I take meds

I have a tremor in my left leg but only when my foot is raised on the ball of the foot. Can this turn into a resting tremor?

In Parkinson's disease, tremors typically start as resting tremors, which occur when the muscles are relaxed. However, as the disease progresses, these tremors can become more pronounced and may occur during movement as well.
