What does hyperthyroidism hand tremor look like

For patients with hyperthyroidism, various abnormal physical signs may appear in the body. If we feel unwell, we must go to the endocrinology department for a follow-up examination in time to ensure our health. If hand tremors occur in daily life, we should make correct judgments. After excluding senile diseases, we should consider whether there is a risk of hyperthyroidism and pay attention to controlling our emotions. So, what does hyperthyroidism hand tremor look like?

1. Hyperthyroidism causes panic and tremors?

Hyperthyroidism is the abbreviation of hyperthyroidism, a disease caused by excessive secretion of thyroid hormone by the thyroid gland. It is most common in young women. Hyperthyroidism is a relatively common disease, but it is easily misdiagnosed, with the initial diagnosis rate being less than 50%. The four common symptoms of hyperthyroidism are palpitations and tremors, heat intolerance and sweating, excessive appetite and hunger, and weight loss. Palpitations are most likely to be misdiagnosed as "myocarditis", and elderly patients are easily misdiagnosed as "coronary heart disease". Patients often visit the neurology department because of hand tremors, and are easily diagnosed with "Parkinson's disease" or "neurosis". These two diseases also have hand tremors as typical symptoms, but are more common in the elderly. Young people with hand tremors should be careful about hyperthyroidism.

In fact, palpitations, hand tremors, and weight loss are three common symptoms of hyperthyroidism. When examining the patient's symptoms, it is best to add the measurement of blood thyroid hormone levels to rule out the possibility of hyperthyroidism and prevent misdiagnosis from delaying the best early treatment opportunity for the disease.

2. Why do I feel anxious and my hands are shaking?

The so-called panic, also known as heart palpitations, is a feeling of panic in a person's heart due to his or her subjective feeling of discomfort with the heartbeat. This is because under the influence of long-term and excessive thyroid hormone, all organs of hyperthyroid patients are in an exuberant state and the heart beats faster than usual. The heart keeps working overtime, which manifests as "heart palpitations". This can easily make people feel that there is something wrong with their heart and mistakenly believe that they have a heart disease. This situation is more common among young and middle-aged patients with hyperthyroidism.

The main causes of hyperthyroidism hand tremors are immune dysfunction and mental factors. Among them, 60% are caused by mental stimulation. Infection, excessive fatigue and other factors may also lead to hyperthyroidism. Therefore, the most important thing to prevent hyperthyroidism is to maintain a happy mood, avoid worry and excessive tension, and pay attention to rest.
