It is common to see tremors in the elderly, what kind of disease is hand tremor?

There are generally two kinds of hand tremors in the elderly: the first situation is Parkinson's syndrome, the most common disease of Parkinson's syndrome is Parkinson's disease, Parkinson's disease is a degenerative disease, the general patient can manifest as a resting tremor, a resting hand tremor, similar to a mud rub, and at the same time, it will also be accompanied by a reduction in facial expression, a small gait of walking with both lower limbs, and patients can also have autonomic dysfunction of depression, constipation, and sleep disorders. Generally, an MRI of the head will reveal degeneration in the red nucleus nigra substantia nigra of the patient; The second situation is seen in essential tremor, for the hand tremor caused by essential tremor, most of them will have hand tremor in both upper limbs, and in severe cases, there will be head tremor, and there can also be tongue and lip tremor.

1. Arteriosclerosis arteriosclerosis: its symptoms are hand tremor, and in severe cases, head tremor will occur. 2 Tremor paralysis:

Hand tremor is the most pronounced and common. 3. Cerebellar disease: such as severe hand tremor when raising a glass close to the mouth, and often accompanied by walking and staggering, talking and eating.

4. Parkinson's disease: hand tremor and tremor are typical symptoms of Parkinson's disease in the early stage, and it is necessary to pay attention to it in the early stage of the disease, and go to a professional brain hospital for face-to-face diagnosis and instrument examination. So as not to miss the ** opportunity.

Hand tremors are most likely Parkinson's. But not only the elderly, sometimes the hands of young people will tremble under certain suspended conditions, but this is not a disease, everyone's nerves and muscles are different, some people will tremble and some will not.

The first cause is a more common cause called essential tremor. That is to say, the elderly are older, the function of the brain and the function of the hands decline, and there is involuntary shaking, especially when holding things.

It is very likely that the elderly person has Parkinson's disease or cervical spondylosis, or it may be because he exerted too much force when he was young, so he left sequelae.

Because of the age, the receptors in the hand are not very sensitive, and the brain is not flexible, so it is not possible to control the neurons in the hand well, so it is easy to tremble.

It is because the function of many organs will decline when the elderly are old, and their physical strength is also insufficient, so their hands and feet will tremble.

It is because some of the physical functions of the elderly have deteriorated, and they have lost their basic control ability, so they will unconsciously tremble.

Cerebellar degeneration, which is inevitable for human beings to experience when they get old, and the shaking is caused by the atrophy of the cerebellum in balanced people.

Shaking hands in the elderly is a very common phenomenon. However, if hand tremors are frequent in life, you should be vigilant. Normal senile tremor and other slight shaking, generally have little impact on life, do not need to be special**. Hand tremors and tremors are typical symptoms of early Parkinson's disease.

This can be a precursor to Parkinson's disease. The disorder causes tremors or involuntary shaking of the head and face, as well as the upper and lower limbs, and the body. Generally, the hand is the starting part, so as long as there is hand tremor, it is necessary to pay attention to it quickly.

Hand tremors may be a sign of diseases such as hyperthyroidism and Parkinson's disease.

If hand tremor appears in young people, it needs to be considered to be caused by hyperthyroidism, which will have clinical manifestations such as hand tremor, irritability, weight loss and sweating, palpitations, etc., and the diagnosis can be confirmed by completing thyroid hormone measurement, and it is necessary to take anti-hyperthyroid drugs regularly to control the symptoms.

If it appears in the elderly, Parkinson's disease needs to be considered, which is a common neurodegenerative disease that will show symptoms such as resting tremor, bradykinesia, and abnormal gait.

Parkinson's disease, the elderly are not as energetic as the young due to the aging of their organs, coupled with various other physical problems, which leads to the appearance of Parkinson's disease.

If your hands are shaking, it may be a sign of Parkinson's, so it is best to go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination to avoid other diseases.

It may be hyperthyroidism, cervical spondylosis, nerve problems, anxiety, or Parkinson's.

Hand tremors are a precursor to Parkinson's, a degenerative neurological disease that begins with uncontrollable shaking of the hands and feet.

In general, it is Parkinson's disease, mainly because the body lacks a lot of calcium content, at this time we must pay special attention, slowly accompanied by slow movement and stiffness, hurry to the hospital to check.

If the hands are shaking, it is generally a precursor to Alzheimer's disease, and at this time, as a family member, we must add more and pay attention to the words and deeds of the elderly.

1. Cerebral arteriosclerosis, poor cerebral blood supply, and brain cell decline affect physiological functions. This is mostly manifested as hand tremor in small movements, especially when writing, and is usually on one side.

If you make a big move when you are working hard, you won't necessarily be trembling. If a 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.

2 This kind of problem often creates a situation in which the patient feels 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 follows that what you are really afraid of is fear itself.

3. 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. In short, the lesions of the elderly's trembling hands are mostly in the brain, so the effects of local ** such as acupuncture and physiotherapy are often unsatisfactory. The ideal is sourcing.

4. The ** 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 the so-called "treating the symptoms but not the root cause".

Essential tremor progresses very slowly or non-progressively and has little impact on daily life.

1 Arteriosclerosis can lead to autonomic incoordination in the elderly, hand tremor is one of its symptoms, and head tremor will occur in severe cases.

2. If the elderly have lesions in the midbrain, it can cause tremor paralysis, with hand tremor being the most obvious and common.

3. Maintaining the coordination and stability of human activities is one of the functions of the cerebellum. If the cerebellum is damaged, it is very easy to have "intention tremor", such as severe hand tremor when raising a glass close to the mouth, it is difficult to complete specific movements, and it is often accompanied by walking and staggering, talking and eating.

4. The people with a high incidence of writing tremor are mainly elderly intellectual workers who have been engaged in desk writing for a long time.

The main symptom is difficulty in holding a pen and writing, and in severe cases, it is impossible to hold a pen to write. Writing tremor is caused by dysfunction of the cerebral cortex, so the method should be psychological.

5. As an elderly person, we should do the following things in life:

In addition to resting well at night, you should also develop a good habit of taking a nap at noon.

Walking, jogging, gymnastics, tai chi and other activities are often performed to enhance physical fitness.

Eat more meals and eat less, mainly light, and eat more vitamins, high protein, fungus, shiitake mushrooms and other foods.

The causes of hand tremor in the elderly are mainly divided into physiological causes and pathological causes, and the physiological causes are more common in the elderly when they are nervous, anxious, and excited. Some elderly people also experience hand tremors after drinking alcohol, and when the alcohol metabolism in the body is completed, the symptoms of hand tremors will disappear. Hand tremors of pathological causes are common in the following areas:

1. Essential tremor is mostly a hereditary disease, idiopathic, that is, it is related to familial. 2. Thyroid dysfunction, if the patient has hyperthyroidism, there will also be hand tremors. 3. Patients with Parkinson's disease can have a pill-like shaking of the hand.

In life, there are always many elderly people who will have hand tremors, and many people think that the elderly are older, and their bodies are naturally not as good as before, so they do not pay too much attention, but most of the reasons for the old people's hand tremors are brain problems.

First of all, as the elderly continue to age, brain cells are also declining, which causes the aging of nerve cells, and in severe cases, it will also lead to cerebellar atrophy, resulting in the elderly body can not coordinate, and hand tremors will occur.

In addition, hand tremors in older people may be more emotional, and when older people are emotional, their hands will also shake uncontrollably, which is usually caused by an overactive nervous system. Therefore, the elderly should pay more attention to maintaining emotional stability and peace.

At the same time, the elderly should pay more attention to rest, it is best to develop the habit of taking a nap at noon, usually exercise more, enhance physical fitness, and quit smoking and alcohol, which are not conducive to physical health.

Generally speaking, hand tremors in the elderly are a common phenomenon, do not worry too much, as long as you pay more attention to maintaining good living habits, and reduce the attention and resistance to hand tremors, but severe patients, it is best to consult a professional doctor, and then make other plans.

The reason why hand tremor is common in the elderly is because the new person is getting older, and the peripheral nerve blood circulation is not good, so he is prone to hand tremor to mark the aging phenomenon system.

1. Hyperthyroidism: there may be hand shaking, in this case the degree of shaking is relatively mild, and it is mostly accompanied by hypermetabolism such as palpitation, irritability, weight loss, polydipsia and polyphagia, and hand tremor often occurs bilaterally at the same time during hyperthyroidism;

2. Parkinson's disease: Parkinson's disease hand tremor is also called tremor, and its clinical manifestations mostly start from one hand. Parkinson's disease is characterized by a characteristic frequency of tremor and is accompanied by postural abnormalities such as leaning forward, walking with small broken steps, difficulty initiating, inability to stop, and slowness of movement.

If you have any of the above conditions, you need to go to the hospital and ask a doctor to help confirm the diagnosis in time;

3. Essential tremor: It is also a relatively common condition in middle-aged and elderly people, which is a benign lesion, but if it affects the quality of life, it can also be carried out with corresponding drugs.

1 Physiological tremor: Tremor is mostly seen in the limbs, head and tongue, and is often obvious when nervous, frightened, emotional, and fatigued.

2 Senile tremor: tremor mostly appears during exercise in the early stage, and can also appear at rest in the future, especially in the hands, head and lips.

It may be caused by liver and kidney deficiency and internal movement of liver wind.

There is something wrong with the nerves, something wrong with the brain, and the hands are shaking. Can I answer the questions?

It is also essential tremor, but it is not taken seriously in the early stage**.
