What's the deal with shaking hands sometimes?

There are many causes of hand tremors, such as hyperthyroidism and hand tremors, as well as Parkinson's disease. You can go to the hospital to find out what's causing it.

Beijing Deshengmen Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine - Wen Jihuan - Deputy Chief Physician - What is the cause of hand tremors?

Folded pathological factors.

1.Essential tremor. The condition of this disease is unknown, mainly affecting the upper limbs and head.

The main manifestation is hand tremor when doing fine movements, such as writing, holding chopsticks, buttoning, etc. Hand tremors are more pronounced during emotional stress and fatigue, and are relieved or completely disappeared when the mind is relaxed or resting. Symptoms may be reduced with alcohol.

There is no abnormality in the neurological examination except for hand tremors, and at present, the most effective way to treat this disease is to use drugs. Taking the drug can improve the symptoms, and after stopping the drug, it is **, so-called"Treat the symptoms but not the root cause"。Essential tremor progresses very slowly or non-progressively and has little impact on daily life.

2.Parkinson's disease. It is a degenerative disease that occurs in the elderly, and in addition to hand tremors, it is accompanied by symptoms such as slow movements, stiff limbs, and poor balance function. If not, the symptoms will get worse and worse. This condition requires specialist help.

Fold the psychological factor.

If pathological factors are ruled out, another common cause of hand tremors** is caused by psychological factors.

Anticipatory anxiety disorder. This kind of problem often creates a situation that makes the patient feel fearful. For example, if you are very worried about your hands shaking in the presence of others at work, your hands are really shaking when they come to you.

In anticipatory anxiety disorder, the anxiety of the symptoms that cause a psychological reaction can exacerbate or lead to the production of symptoms. The onset of symptoms further reinforces anticipatory anxiety, creating a vicious circle. In this vicious circle, you are closed off and unable to extricate yourself.

It can be seen that what the patient is really afraid of is the fear itself.

Symptoms of essential tremor. Essential tremor, also known as familial or benign essential tremor, is an autosomal dominant disorder, the most common extrapyramidal disease, and the most common tremor condition, with about 60% of patients having a family history. Postural tremor is the only clinical manifestation of the disease.

Tremor is common in the hands, followed by head tremor, and tremor of the lower extremities is rare in patients. Tremor worsens with concentration, nervousness, fatigue, hunger, and in most cases disappears temporarily after alcohol consumption and worsens the next day.

The causes of hand tremor are: 1. Calcium deficiency, calcium deficiency can cause muscle excitability to decrease, and hand and foot twitching and trembling. Second, the mind is too nervous, if the usual work pressure is too high, the spirit is too nervous, it can cause the hands to tremble.

3. Epilepsy, epilepsy is caused by abnormal electrical discharge in the brain, and epileptic seizures can cause symptoms such as twitching of the hands and feet, foaming at the mouth, etc. 4. Parkinsonism syndrome, the elderly should consider Parkinsonism when they have hand and foot tremors, and the tremor of the disease is resting tremor, lack of facial expression, and memory loss. 5. Hyperthyroidism, hyperthyroidism can cause symptoms such as trembling fingers, increased heart rate, insomnia, and proptosis.

Usually exercise properly, have a balanced diet, and it is best to go to the neurology department of the hospital for examination, such as head CT and other diagnoses before the symptoms**.

There are 4 common causes of hand tremors. Dr. Wang Weijie of the Department of Family Medicine said that hand tremor is a common symptom of primary tremor, and there are many reasons for the formation of hand tremor, and there are many situations in daily life that may occur hand tremor, such as emotional tension, anxiety, low temperature, etc., most of which will occur on both hands, which is called physiological tremor, which is harmlessIt may also be caused by factors such as hypoglycemia, hyperthyroidism, parathyroid abnormalities, and vitamin B12 deficiency

Doctors usually identify these conditions and rule out cold medicines, bronchodilators, psychotropic drugs, alcohol withdrawal, nicotine, and other drug factorsPrimary tremor is a common cause of benign hand tremor, which is more common in people under the age of 40, and is genetically related, usually bilateral, without neurological symptoms such as local weakness or unsteady gait.

There are many causes of hand tremor, starting from systemic diseases, for patients with liver disease, if the liver function is obviously abnormal, patients with hepatic encephalopathy can have asterixis and hand tremors, and patients with hyperthyroidism can also have hand tremors. Among neurological diseases, patients with Parkinson's disease may have resting tremors in both upper limbs and may have hand tremors. In addition, patients with senile tremor may also have hand tremors, and patients with postural tremor may have hand tremors when holding objects.

Either there is a cerebral infarction vascular problem, or the nerve or Parkinson's disease.

Hand tremors are divided into physiological and pathological tremors from the symptoms.

Cerebral arteriosclerosis, poor cerebral blood supply.

This is mostly a tremor of small movements, especially when writing, mostly at one time, not necessarily trembling when doing large movements with force. If the blood vessel is infarcted, in addition to hand tremors, there will be corresponding neurological deficits.

The symptoms of hand tremors worsen with age and hardening of the arteries. The focus of this type of hand tremor is at**arteriosclerosis, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and it is also necessary to quit smoking and avoid alcohol, so as to clean up the source and cure the root cause.

Parkinson's disease.

This is one of the extrapyramidal disorders of the brain, which is located in the thalamic basal ganglia deep in the brain, and is mainly due to the lack of dopamine. Typical is one or both upper limbs, especially distal tremors, which are aggravated when nervous and excited, and disappear when quiet, and there are sluggish movements, slow reactions, stiff joints, weak hands and feet, unsteady gait, poor speech, and crooked words when transcribing.

After the diagnosis of this disease, medication or surgery can be used, such as levodopa, antan and stereotactic surgery, the effect is good, but it can be **.

Disorders of the cerebellar hemispheres.

It can be caused by tumors, cerebellar atrophy, and insufficient blood supply to the brain. This type of hand tremor is characterized by intentional tremor, which is not shaking at rest and occurs when moving. When he points to the tip of his nose, his hands tremble and his fingers are inaccurate, and he may also be combined with nystagmus, drunken gait when walking, uncoordinated movements, and occasional tinnitus and deafness.

In this case, CT, magnetic resonance, or evoked potentials are needed to find out the source of the disease and treat it promptly and correctly.

All in all, the hands of the elderly are trembling, and most of the lesions are in the brain, so the local ** often does not have much effect. The best way to do this is to source it.

Psychological causes. It is a manifestation of social impairment. However, psychologically, our response to this phenomenon should be the same.

I can despise trembling, tolerate trembling, and not cause psychological anxiety, and of course you can too. In other words, even if you are shaking, you can also shake calmly like me. Interestingly, once you are shaking, the shaking will also tend to ease or even disappear unconsciously.

Writing spasms. Most of these disorders are neurological and dysfunction occurs when writing due to tension in the hand muscles. The patient has difficulty writing.

This spasticity occurs mainly in the fingers, wrists, and even the entire upper limbs. In some cases, the extensor proprinis muscles cause spasmodic tonic contractions, followed by contractions along the index and middle fingers to the extensor propria longus muscles, resulting in thumb abduction. The most important feature of this disease is the spasm of the book at regular intervals, and the symptoms disappear when you do not write.

Hand tremors can be considered as neurological diseases, mainly caused by hyperthyroidism caused by emotional agitation, overexertion and long-term compression, etc., in this case, it is recommended to rest more, and if necessary, massage the hands. The other may be Parkinson's, which is characterised by resting tremor. Involuntary trembling, trembling, night sweats, and a little uneasy in my heart are caused by mental tension, and I will be fine after resting.

1) Physiological: Some tremors do not occur in normal times, but only occur in certain situations (e.g., stress, nervousness, anger), which is what we say "shivering with anger".

Others, like some drugs, and even drinking coffee, tea, cola and other beverages, are physiological tremors. (2) Psychological: The usual tremor pattern is more weird, ** mainly for its mental illness.

3) Primary (benign primary tremor): This means that we cannot find out exactly what causes the tremors, and it may be caused by a specific constitution. And because about half of the patients who suffer from this disease have a trembling home.

In view of the many causes caused, it is recommended that patients should not be careless, and go to a regular hospital for further examination as soon as possible, so as not to delay the condition.

What is the disease of hand tremors. Hand tremors can have three causes, the most common is Parkinson's disease, which can cause resting pill-like hand tremors, which is resting tremor, which is a degenerative disease of the central nervous system, and can also be accompanied by increased muscle tone in the body, walking posture pendant, and uncoordinated swing of the upper arm.

The other is essential tremor, such as essential tremor, that is, there is no cause to be found, usually it can be induced when you are nervous, and the tremor will be reduced or disappeared when you drink a little alcohol, which is a means of diagnosing essential tremor.

There is also hand tremor when you are angry, which pays attention to controlling emotions, anger can lead to many diseases, so you must control your emotions, and your daily life should be regular.

Why is the hand shaking for hyperthyroidism what is going on.

There are many causes of hand tremor, hand tremor is called tremor in medicine, it is only a symptom, it refers to part or all of the body's hand tremor, mainly manifested as involuntary rhythmic tremor, divided into resting tremor, motor tremor, postural tremor, rebound tremor and shaking tremor, although it is manifested as hand tremor, but its root is mostly in the brain.

The cause of hand tremors in adolescents is thought to be hyperthyroidism; The cause of hand tremors in the elderly is considered to be Parkinson's; At the same time, neurodegenerative diseases can also cause hand tremors. Patients with hyperthyroidism can take oral drugs such as propylthiouracil and methimazole**; Parkinson's can be performed by oral levodopa tablets or surgically**.

I think there are many causes of hand tremors, and you can go to the hospital for a checkup.

I hope mine can help you, hope, thank you.

The causes of hand tremor include: essential tremor, such as when nervous or tired, relieved at rest; Brain damage such as Wilson's disease, Parkinson's disease, cerebrovascular disease; Systemic diseases, such as hyperthyroidism, liver disease, etc. In addition, some special conditions such as poisoning, high fever, fever, etc. can also cause hand tremors.

Hand tremor - in traditional Chinese medicine, it belongs to liver and blood deficiency, the liver is in the body and tendons, and its splendor is in the claws, the liver blood is insufficient, and the blood does not nourish the tendons, and the hand tremors will occur.

Blood deficiency syndrome is a disease syndrome caused by insufficient blood in the liver. It is characterized by dysfunction of liver and blood regulation and related organ dystrophy. Syndromes manifested by hepatic blood deficiency; It is mostly caused by spleen and kidney deficiency, insufficient biochemical sources, or chronic diseases that deplete the liver and blood, or excessive blood loss.

Liver and blood ** in the spleen and stomach decay, transport the subtlety of the water valley, and at the same time metamorphosis in the kidney essence. If the spleen and stomach are weak, the diet is reduced, the movement is abnormal, the source of blood production is insufficient, or the kidney essence is insufficient, and the liver blood cannot be metaplasia, or the liver is diseased, the liver blood is consumed, and various bleeding diseases are suffered, which will lead to insufficient liver blood and liver blood deficiency syndrome.

Common diseases of pathological hand tremor include essential tremor, Parkinson's disease, Parkinson's syndrome, extravertebral diseases, cerebellar diseases, brain degenerative diseases, Wilson's disease, hepatic encephalopathy, drug poisoning, etc. According to the clinical manifestations, it is mainly divided into two types: resting hand tremor and motor hand tremor. Among them, resting hand tremor is the hand tremor that occurs when the muscles are completely relaxed, that is, in a quiet state.

This kind of hand tremor disappears during sleep, and the speed of hand tremor is 46 seconds and is relatively regular, typical of diseases such as Parkinson's syndrome. Motor hand tremor is a hand tremor that occurs only during exercise and is worse when the movement approaches the target. For example, when the doctor gives a patient a finger and nose test, he asks the patient to straighten his forearm; Then point your index finger at the tip of your nose; The closer the tip of the index finger is to the tip of the nose, the more pronounced the shaking of the hand becomes.

Motor hand tremors are irregular, the amplitude of shaking is large, and it is enhanced by emotion, and is common in lesions of cranial nerves and upper extremity nerves.

Hand tremors may be a manifestation of essential tremor and are more common in people who have been drunk for a long time, and if they have the condition, they will have hand tremors when they move, but this symptom will disappear as soon as they stop moving. If you have such abnormal manifestations, you should pay special attention to them, and you need to do a good job of timely prevention and treatment to protect your health.

Endangering daily social and daily communication can have a certain damage to appearance, and hand tremors can hinder fine work, such as writing. and going to drink with friends and eating with leaders, and the unstable holding of the wine glass causes embarrassment. Essential tremor is more common in the teens or early adulthood, and hand tremor is a clinical manifestation of postural or action tremor, often involving one or both hands or head, and the symptoms do not become apparent until later.

Causes headaches, hand aches and discomfort, essential tremor is a common clinical symptom of movement disorders, which are inherited in an autosomal dominant manner, and postural or action hand tremors are the manifestations of slow or long-term non-progression of healthy searches. For example, going for a run and doing aerobics will make you feel particularly tired, your legs and feet will not be flexible, and your body will become stiff and not obey the call.
