Why do older people have leg shaking? What to do if young people have leg shaking?

Many elderly people are always used to shaking their hands and feet. We thought it was because of the natural deterioration of their bodies. In fact, this is not the case, why do the hands and feet of the elderly always tremble?

Older people are prone to potassiumemia.

Every year in the spring is the lowest temperature, at this time the cold feeling will make many people feel that the legs and feet are not good, especially for the elderly, in the warm home will also appear weak hands and feet and even trembling, this time is no longer a simple low temperature caused, more likely because of the lack of some essential elements in the body.

Aunt Li is 68 years old this year, and she feels that her body has always been relatively tough. During the Chinese New Year, when she was watching TV at home, she suddenly felt dizzy, weak hands and feet, trembling all over, and even fainted. After going to the hospital for examination, it was determined that it was the original potassium deficiency.

At the same time, during such periods, many cases of potassium deficiency in the elderly have been received. There are also some patients with chronic diseases, poor gastrointestinal function, significant decrease in appetite, eating too little for a long time, or suffering from chronic diarrhea, significantly increasing the frequency of bowel movements, or long-term use of diuretics (high blood pressure medication), these three conditions will lead to the loss of potassium in the body, and potassiumemia occurs.

Potassium is a very important material element in the body, although the concentration of potassium in the serum is only milligram dliters, but these substances are necessary for life activities. If you are in good health, if you have a normal diet and a balanced nutritional structure, you can fully meet the body's nutritional needs for potassium and do not need to supplement it separately. When there is a lack of potassium in the body, the state is relatively mild, nausea, vomiting, abdominal distention, slowing down of gastrointestinal peristalsis, fatigue, weakness, and fatigue; In severe cases, generalized muscle weakness, numbness, pain, limb paralysis, decreased heartbeat, dizziness, intestinal paralysis, anorexia, respiratory muscle paralysis, etc., may occur, and even life-threatening.

Elderly people with underlying diseases and long-term medication should go to the hospital regularly for check-ups to understand whether the potassium and electrolytes in the body are balanced. In addition, the cause of potassium deficiency in the elderly may also be the loss of tooth chewing function, the diet type is relatively simple, and the potassium-containing foods are eaten, which gradually leads to potassium deficiency.

Therefore, middle-aged and elderly people must pay attention to a diversified diet and a balanced nutritional structure. Middle-aged and elderly people who are deficient in potassium can eat more foods with higher potassium content. In general, seaweed foods, such as kelp, are rich in potassium; Vegetables with high potassium content include spinach, amaranth, coriander, celery, green garlic, lettuce, potatoes, Huaishan, edamame, soybeans and their products. Buckwheat noodles and sweet potatoes have higher potassium content; Bananas are the most abundant fruits.

But these are not generalized, what kind of food should be eaten also depends on the condition and constitution, patients with kidney disease are best to eat less soy products, while patients with bad intestines should try to eat less crude fiber food, women with weak constitution should eat less seaweed.

If the elderly have some symptoms, don't always take it seriously, especially some physical changes that are suddenly discovered, it is best to see a doctor and follow the doctor's advice.

The first consideration of leg tremors in the elderly: 1There is a happening.

Parkinson's disease. Possibly. It is recommended to go to a regular hospital for examination.

Confirm the diagnosis as early as possible**. 2.If it is caused by cold, the elderly should pay attention to cold protection and keep warm to avoid cold.

3.Caused by overwork. In particular, the elderly should avoid overwork, have regular living habits, participate in some cultural and sports activities appropriately, exercise their bodies, and enjoy their bodies and minds.

4.Lack. Trace element. Appropriate calcium and iron supplementation to relieve symptoms.

1.There is a possibility of Parkinson's disease. It is recommended to go to a regular hospital for examination. Confirm the diagnosis as early as possible**. 2.If it is caused by cold, the elderly should pay attention to cold protection and keep warm to avoid cold.

Hello, there are many of them, such as calcium deficiency, Parkinson's, and cerebral infarction.

Shaking legs, people with this problem can't help but shake when sitting in a chair.

When I was studying, I once inadvertently glanced at it and found that a row of boys in the class were shaking their feet, which surprised me very much, which gave people a very bad feeling.

So is shaking your legs a disease?

1: Psychological reactions.

One is that the mind is not very calm, either depressed, nervous or bored, so they use small actions to divert their own attention and make themselves no longer so depressed, nervous and boring.

Exercise habits. Become a habitual leg shaker, such as a person who has not exercised for a long time, through this method**.

3: Physical malfunction.

The body is not controlled by the brain, there is no conscious leg shaking, and the body has a condition.

Get rid of habits. It is recommended to get rid of this habit, shaking your feet will affect a person's communication to a certain extent, shaking your feet is very taboo, even in front of individual people, if you don't pay attention to a detail, you may lose a lot of opportunities. Whenever you see your feet shaking, stand up, try to sit as little as possible, distract some of your legs, and let your legs naturally be under some pressure. Try not to cross Erlang's legs every time you sit, and lifting Erlang's legs is sometimes the best behavior.

The brain is controlled. After the habit of shaking the feet is formed, it will become a natural behavior, and at certain moments will make a reaction to shaking the feet, and you may not even realize that this habit sometimes even the brain will lose instinctive control, and if you don't do it, it will be very awkward. Therefore, it is necessary to forcibly control the brain, and instinct tells to prohibit this action.

Physical self-examination. When you lift your heels, your body shakes your feet uncontrollably and you can't sit still. In addition to not being able to calm down during the day, before falling asleep at night, you have to move your feet to reduce the discomfort and fall asleep successfully; Even in the middle of the night, you will wake up with involuntary kicking, which may be a form of restless legs syndrome, and the signs are as follows:

Symptom 1: Inexplicable discomfort in the feet, automatic leg shaking.

Symptom 2: Leg discomfort is worse when inactive than during exercise.

Symptom 3: After the body moves, the symptoms of leg discomfort will improve.

Symptom 4: Leg discomfort is acceptable during the day, but it is worse at night.

After the comparison, if it is found to be a physical problem, it is recommended to seek medical attention in time.

Shaking legs is not more of a disease, but a habit, although shaking legs has disadvantages, but it is a good thing for friends who are usually sedentary, do not like to exercise, and stay in bed for a long time, this kind of people who do not like to exercise are easy to relax the muscles of the lower limbs and even muscle atrophy.

If the elasticity of blood vessels in the body is poor, it is easy to lead to poor blood circulation and slow blood flow in the lower limbs, which in turn increases the risk of deep vein thrombosis. The essence of "leg shaking" is the contraction and relaxation of the muscles of the lower limbs, which can promote blood circulation in the lower limbs, accelerate blood flow, and prevent the formation of deep vein thrombosis.

But it is still recommended to exercise more, rather than relying on shaking your legs to ** and stay healthy! Otherwise, shaking your legs will become a habit, but it will be difficult to change, and you will be disliked!

When symptoms of leg tremors occur, it is also necessary to see whether the leg tremors occur occasionally, or often, or occur most of the day, and whether there are any other accompanying symptoms when the leg tremors occur. When the legs are too tired or too nervous, there will also be the problem of leg tremors, which is transient, and the legs will tremble naturally after resting and relaxing, and no special treatment is required.

If the leg tremor has existed for a period of time, and there is a tendency to get heavier and heavier, sometimes the hands will tremble, accompanied by some slowness in movement, some stiffness, inflexibility, and slower movements than in the past, especially easy to fatigue, sometimes there will be back pain, when walking, I feel that I can't take a step, one foot seems to be stuck to the ground, a shoe is always particularly easy to wear off, and the back is hunched than before. If this situation occurs, it is highly suspected that it is Parkinson's disease, which is caused by a series of motor dysfunctions caused by the lack of dopamine in the brain, and it is necessary to supplement exogenous dopamine for long-term **. Therefore, if there is leg tremor for a long time, it is recommended to go to the hospital for some examinations, give a clear diagnosis, and then give the corresponding **.

Essential tremor, also known as familial or benign essential tremor, is a common clinical movement disorder disease, which is autosomal dominant inheritance, and is a common clinical movement disorder disease, postural or action tremor is the only manifestation, which progresses slowly or does not progress for a long time, and it is currently believed that age is essential tremor, an important risk factor, the prevalence increases with age, the onset is slow, and the disease can occur at any age. However, it usually begins in adults, and there are literature reports that there are slightly more tremors in men than in women. It is common in the hands, followed by head tremor, leg tremor, which worsens with concentration, nervousness, fatigue, hunger, and in most cases disappears temporarily after drinking alcohol and worsens the next day.

Young people's leg trembling means that the leg muscles are not easy to control, and there is a little lack of exercise, so they should strengthen their leg muscle exercises, step by step and plan to exercise, and it will slowly improve.

Many people will, always remind themselves. Change habits.

If it is a strain, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a check-up.

Tremors in the legs can be caused by overexertion, or by diseases such as hyperthyroidism or Parkinson's.

1.Overwork: If the legs have been in a state of work recently, such as squatting and working, etc., overwork will lead to local muscle spasms, so that the legs may tremble.

2.Hyperthyroidism: Patients with this disease usually have high thyroid hormones, which may cause discomfort such as leg tremors, sweating, and heart palpitations.

3.Parkinson's: This disease is a neurological disease, which mostly occurs in middle-aged and elderly people, and patients will have uncomfortable symptoms such as leg tremors, fatigue and convulsions.

If it is a young person, or a middle-aged or elderly person, there are no other symptoms only leg tremors, and most of them are related to mental stress and other factors. Essential tremor can also be manifested as shaking of the upper limbs, lower limbs or head and face, and its ** and pathogenesis are not very clear, which may be related to genetic or environmental factors, and it is necessary to rule out tremor caused by Parkinson's disease before it can be considered.

If you get used to it, you generally won't.
