Not diagnosed, but scared

Hi, I have been told by my Rheumotologist that I have a tremor in my upper body that is more severe in my right side. My mother just informed me that Parkinson’s Disease runs in our family. My grandmother’s sister had it on my mother’s side. I also have muscle spasms in my legs that have been going on for months now. I take Baclofen for them . It was prescribed to me by my GP. They were looking for MS But now with this new info. I do not know what will happen next. I am wondering if anyone can tell me how much of a risk do I have in having Parkinson’s? And if there are any suggestion as to what I should do next. How do I handle my GP??
