What causes tremors? What s going on with tremors?

Tremor is a clinical syndrome, not specifically refers to a single disease, many diseases can cause tremor, common in the following situations: 1. Essential tremor: clinically common, it is a hereditary disease, manifested as hand tremor, jaw tremor, head tremor.

2. Parkinson's disease: it is more harmful and often manifests as hand tremor, which needs to be distinguished from essential tremor. In addition, hyperthyroidism:

Abbreviated as hyperthyroidism, tremors can also occur. It is recommended that patients go to a regular specialist hospital in time for treatment, and conduct relevant examinations through neurologists to clarify ** and take targeted **.

The first reason is physiological tremor, such as when the patient is nervous, frightened, and excited, the sympathetic nervous system is excited, which leads to the release of a large amount of adrenaline and norepinephrine, which will cause tremor in the limbs, and this situation is not too worrying.

The second reason is to pay attention to whether there is extrapyramidal disease, such as the patient's Parkinson's disease will cause limb tremor, this tremor is generally bilateral asymmetrical, mainly resting tremor, which will be reduced when moving, and generally accompanied by clinical manifestations such as bradykinesia and muscle rigidity. Essential tremor is also an extrapyramidal disorder that is dominated by postural tremor and is different from Parkinson's disease.

The third reason is to pay attention to whether the patient has abnormal liver function and abnormal thyroid function, which can cause tremor.

Tremor is an involuntary rhythmic shaking of some limbs in the human body, which can be divided into various types according to the frequency and location of the tremor, as well as the association between the shaking and consciousness. The details are as follows:

1. Resting tremor: that is, the tremor decreases or disappears when the patient is active, and the tremor is more obvious when at rest, which is common in patients with Parkinsonism;

2. Intention tremor: that is, the tremor is not obvious when the patient is at rest, but the tremor is more significant when the patient reaches out to pick up objects;

3. Essential tremor: it is more common in the head, the cause of its attack is unknown, and there is a certain genetic background;

4. Iatrogenic tremor: that is, poison after clinical application of prescription drugs.

Tremors are divided into primary tremor and secondary tremor. Essential tremor, also known as essential tremor, is a genetically related tremor that is more common in middle-aged and older patients. **Mainly oral receptor blockers.

Secondary tremor refers to tremor secondary to certain diseases, including Parkinson's, hyperthyroidism, Wilson's disease, alcoholic encephalopathy, etc.
