What are the possible signs of a tremor in the head?

The most common cause of head shaking in older people is arteriosclerosis. In general, it is aortic sclerosis that causes head shaking most easily. The most common cause of head shaking in young people is essential tremor, which is a type of tremor of unknown origin that worsens when the patient is nervous, anxious, or emotional.

Essential tremor can be relieved by oral almar while the patient remains optimistic and avoids overagitation. The head shaking caused by arteriosclerosis requires oral medication to improve circulation**.

1. Parkinson's disease.

Professor Liu Chengyong of the Department of Neurosurgery of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Southern Medical University said in an exclusive interview with family doctors: patients may only be affected by one side of the body (left and right) at first, some of them may initially show slight tremors of the fingers, and some of them will show small tremors, and as the disease progresses, this symptom will also appear on both sides of the body. The most typical manifestation of this disease is the joint action of the thumb and index finger 3 to 4 times per second, such as the "pill rubbing" action, with the prolongation of the course of the disease, the limbs may be stiff, the movement may be reduced, the walking is unsteady, and the legs, feet or chin also have shaking.

Middle-aged and elderly people are generally over 50-60 years old, with slightly more males than females, and the incidence accounts for about 75%-80% of all patients.

The second is essential tremor. The disease is not clear, mainly involving the cephalic side of the upper limbs, its symptoms are contrary to Parkinson's disease, shaking to the limbs are obvious movement, reduced or disappeared when at rest as the main characteristics, such as writing, photography, holding chopsticks, etc. Family members have similar patients, indicating that there are certain genetic factors, some people drink less alcohol, less shaking, and no abnormalities in the neurological examination except for hand tremors.

3. Hyperthyroidism.

Hypothyroidism is also a common cause of limb tremor, if hand tremor is accompanied by symptoms such as weight loss, excessive sweating, proptosis, palpitations, etc., you should go to the hospital for blood thyroxine and thyroid B ultrasound examination in time.

Shaking the head is usually caused by arteriosclerosis, which is aggravated when the patient experiences mood changes, mental fluctuations, etc.; It can also be considered to be Parkinson's disease, which is caused by the degeneration of the striatum and substantia nigra in the patient's brain; Symptoms can also occur when the patient's brain tissue shrinks.

There are several reasons for the condition that causes the head to shake:

Clause. 1. It is not excluded that it is a kind of essential tremor, and if there is no other abnormal feeling of physical discomfort, you can choose not to use it, and you don't need to worry.

Clause. 2. It is not excluded that it is caused by a high degree of nervous tension, which is generally related to excessive emotional excitement, anxiety, too many complicated things in the face, and insufficient relaxation of the cranial nerves, so we should pay attention to maintaining a comfortable mood.

Clause. 3. It cannot be ruled out that it is caused by Parkinson's disease.

Head shaking can be a sign of the following:

1. Parkinson's disease, patients may only have a certain side of the body at the beginning, the left or right side is affected, some of the earliest manifestations are a slight tremor of a finger, some are manifested as slow fine movements, with the progress of the disease will appear on both sides of the body, the most typical manifestation of the disease is the appearance of the thumb and index finger three to four times per second and the action of the movement, such as a pill-like action, with the prolongation of the course of the disease, the limbs are stiff, the movement is reduced, the movement is unstable, and the legs, feet and chin also have shaking.

2. Essential tremor, the disease is still unknown, mainly involving the upper limbs and head, the symptoms of this disease are just the opposite of Parkinson's disease, shaking is obvious when the limbs are moving, and the main characteristics are reduced or disappeared when at rest, such as writing, photography and holding chopsticks.

3. Hyperthyroidism, hyperthyroidism is also a common cause of limb tremor, if there are symptoms such as weight loss, excessive sweating, proptosis, and rapid heartbeat at the same time, you should go to the hospital in time for serum thyroxine and thyroid B ultrasound examination.

4. Cerebellar lesions, in which the cerebellum is involved in the regulation of somatic balance and muscle tone, as well as the coordination of voluntary movements. Once the cerebellum is affected, patients develop intention tremor, which becomes more pronounced as the patient gets closer to the target object, and can also present with ataxia manifestations such as nystagmus, speech changes, and unsteadiness in standing and walking.

It may be essential tremor, the disease is still unknown, mainly affecting the upper limbs and head, the symptoms of this disease are just the opposite of Parkinson's disease, the shaking is obvious when the limbs are moved, and the main characteristics are reduced or disappeared when at rest, such as writing, photography and holding chopsticks.

Involuntary shaking of the head is often called head vibration, which may be caused by hyperthyroidism or brain disease, but it is best to go to the hospital for cranial nerve examination.

What is the precursor to a tremor of the disease? You can go to the hospital and consult an internal medicine doctor.

The occurrence of shaking of the head is usually a sign of the following diseases. In the early stage of Parkinson's disease, patients only show normal fingers and slow fine movements, and in the late stage, they have stiff limbs, legs, feet, jaw and head. 2. Essential tremor, the cause of which is unknown, the clinical manifestations are mainly above the head, the shaking is obvious during activity, and disappears when at rest.

3. Patients with hyperthyroidism have obvious hand tremors, and may also be accompanied by symptoms such as heat intolerance and excessive sweating. Fourth, cerebellar lesions, the clinical manifestations are mainly intentional tremor, that is, the closer to the target object, the more severe the tremor. For patients with shaking, it is necessary to maintain an optimistic attitude, prevent emotional agitation, and if necessary, take medication under the guidance of a doctor**.

Shaking the head is usually caused by arteriosclerosis, which is aggravated when the patient experiences mood changes, mental fluctuations, etc.; It can also be considered to be Parkinson's disease, which is caused by the degeneration of the striatum and substantia nigra in the patient's brain; Symptoms can also occur when the patient's brain tissue shrinks.

Hand tremors should be related to the head, possibly Parkinson's syndrome. Then there may be something to do with nerves. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination to determine the right medicine.

Parkinson's, a pre-symptom of Alzheimer's, timely**.

There are many reasons for the symptoms of head tremor, and if the symptoms of head shaking are accompanied by symptoms such as shaking of the legs or body and facial muscles, it may be related to essential tremor. If the head shake is accompanied by limb tremors, bradykinesia, muscle rigidity and other symptoms, it may be related to Parkinson's disease. If you have symptoms of hand tremors, such as palpitation, irritability, sweating, and protruding eyes, it may be related to thyroid disease.

Emotional instability, excessive anger, agitation, lack of sleep, low indoor temperature, cold, etc., may also cause hand tremors. Suffering from cerebrovascular diseases, lacunar cerebral infarction, cerebral arteriosclerosis, cerebral thrombosis, etc., are also the causes of head shaking. An increase in body temperature after a cold or diabetes may also cause head shaking, so you should go to the hospital and make sure that you will do it later.
