Sure! Here is a user-generated query: I've been feeling kind of off lately and noticed some unusual symptoms. I'm getting these occasional sharp headaches, and my balance feels a bit shaky. On top of that, I've been having some muscle twitching, and I can't help but worry if it's something serious. Should I be concerned about these symptoms? Is there a chance theyre related to a nerve problem or something similar?

For persistent, medication-resistant essential tremor with head shaking and anxiety, consider short-term treatments like botulinum toxin injections or anxiety-reducing medications like benzodiazepines. Surgical options include deep brain stimulation (DBS) and focused ultrasound thalamotomy. The cost of these treatments varies widely, but DBS is generally in the range of $50,000 to $150,000.
