What happens when your hands are shaking uncontrollably?

Hand tremors are medically called "tremors", and tremors are divided into physiological and pathological ones.

1) Physiological tremor often occurs when nervous, anxious, emotional, fearful, muscle fatigue, etc., and the cause of tremor is eliminated, and the tremor will be relieved or disappeared.

2) Pathological tremor is common: such as Parkinson's disease, hyperthyroidism, cerebellar lesions, and essential tremor. Parkinson's disease, called resting tremor, is the first symptom of Parkinson's disease.

Resting tremor occurs when the patient's hand is at rest and has a pronounced amplitude, but when the hand is used for daily activities, the tremor decreases or stops. It is exacerbated by tension or agitation and disappears when you fall asleep. Typically presents with a "pill-rubbing" motion.

Hyperthyroidism is characterized by resting tremor of the hands. Patients with cerebellar lesions can cause intention tremor, which is more pronounced the closer the movement is to the target. Essential tremor:

1 3 Patients have a positive family history of tremor as the only manifestation of common movement disorders, mainly manifested as postural tremor and action tremor, which are often seen in one upper limb or both upper limbs, and can be temporarily relieved after drinking alcohol in some patients.

3) Drugs: penicillin, amikacin, posterior pituitary, lomefloxacin and other drugs can cause tremor.

There are a variety of causes of hand tremors, such as Parkinson's disease, Parkinson's syndrome, Wilson's disease, essential tremor, hyperthyroidism, and chronic heavy alcohol consumption. Parkinson's disease and parkinsonism generally occur in middle-aged and elderly people. Parkinson's disease is a neurological disease, there is no specific method, patients can have hand tremors, can also have increased muscle tone, manifested as bradykinesia, can also have abnormal posture and gait.

Parkinsonism is mostly caused by cerebrovascular diseases, mainly seen in multiple lacunar cerebral infarctions of reversive birth, or cerebral infarction in the basal ganglia region, which is mainly a positive primary disease. In Wilson's disease, it usually occurs in young adults between the ages of 20 and 40. With increasing age, the incidence may increase, mainly by oral amantadine**, but also by oral trihexyphenidyl, and there is currently no specific method**.

If it is considered to be caused by long-term heavy drinking, the patient should be instructed to abstain from alcohol and, if necessary, drugs that improve brain metabolism, such as oxiracetam and piracetam, should be used. Essential tremor, in general, most patients have slow progression of symptoms after the onset of the disease, do not cause disability in the patient, do not need special **, and in severe cases, propranolol can be taken orally.

There are many causes of hand tremors, the first of which is Parkinson's disease, which is characterized by resting tremor with bradykinesia, special posture, gait abnormalities, and increased muscle tone. Resting tremor refers to the patient's hand tremor when the patient is quiet, generally 4-6 pill-rubbing shakes per second, which decreases during activity and disappears during sleep, which is resting tremor. There is also a type of tremor caused by cerebellar lesions, which refers to the patient's severe tremor when he is active, especially when he is close to the target, and the symptoms may be slightly reduced when he is quiet, which is a cerebellar lesion.

There is also essential tremor, which refers to unexplained tremor that can be seen in patients of all ages, especially in the elderly, and may be related to arteriosclerosis. The more nervous and anxious the more anxious the more it will tremble, and in severe cases, it will affect daily work and life, and may not be able to hold a pen, and it may be difficult to write. Therefore, patients with simple hand tremors must see a neurology department in time and ask a specialist for a detailed physical examination.

At the same time, relevant auxiliary examinations should be carried out to clarify the diagnosis, and once the diagnosis is confirmed, the patient should cooperate with the patient, maintain optimism, ensure sleep, improve the bad lifestyle, and live a regular life.
