What is the sign of hand shaking

I don’t know if you have ever experienced a situation in your life where your hands shake uncontrollably. There are many reasons that cause hand tremors, both physiological and pathological. Physiological hand tremors are generally mild, while pathological hand tremors require medical treatment. Therefore, everyone must pay attention to the situation of their hand tremors. So what disease is the trembling hand a sign of?

First, Parkinson's.

I would like to remind everyone that if one of the hands or feet suddenly shakes uncontrollably, and the shaking is alleviated when the person is moving but is more obvious when the person is still, then you should be alert to whether it is Parkinson's disease.

Second, cerebellar lesions.

It often occurs when the patient wants to pick up something. The closer the hand is to the object, the more obvious the hand tremor will be.

Third, essential tremor.

It is by far the most common form of chronic tremor, occurring in about 4 percent of people. Essential tremor is a tremor that occurs when you try to do some kind of work or movement with your hands. This condition is the opposite of Parkinson's disease. The shaking is more obvious during activity and disappears when still.

Fourth, hyperthyroidism.

If you have hand tremors and also have other symptoms such as weight loss, sweating, and a rapid heartbeat, you may have hyperthyroidism. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for serum thyroxine and other related tests.

Fifth, pressure

Most people have a mild, largely invisible tremor caused by the beating of their heart, blood flow and other processes inside the body, which is called physiological tremor. Under certain circumstances, such as high stress or anxiety, this tremor may become more noticeable.

Sixth, drinking too much caffeinated beverages

Just as stress can increase physiological tremors that you wouldn't normally notice, caffeine has the same side effect. If you notice tremors in your hands after drinking coffee or other caffeinated beverages, you may need to cut back on your intake. Caffeine and stress can make essential tremor more noticeable.

Seventh, certain drugs

Some asthma medications, such as bronchodilators, can cause hand tremors. Amphetamines, some statins, and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) can also cause tremors. If hand tremors are caused by taking these medicines, you can take other alternative medicines under the guidance of a doctor.

8. Fatigue

Lack of sleep and muscle fatigue caused by overexertion during exercise can also lead to hand tremors. Likewise, fatigue can make essential tremor more noticeable.
