Is the shaking of the head a broken head? What causes head shaking?

Hello, the involuntary shaking of the head is a symptom caused by Parkinson's disease or hyperthyroidism, in which case it is necessary to follow the doctor's instructions for laboratory tests and symptoms**. In general, thyroid function tests or thyroid ultrasonography are usually done. If Parkinson's disease is caused, a neurological examination is required.

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 tremor may be caused by essential tremor, hypertension, Parkinson's disease, hyperthyroidism, adverse drug reactions, etc.

Causes of head tremors:

1. Essential tremor. There is often a genetic family history of essential tremor, and patients mainly present with postural and action tremor of the head, which is more pronounced during activity and stress.

2. High nervous tension. When the nerves are highly tense, it may cause symptoms of head shaking. This condition is generally related to excessive emotion, anxiety, too much work pressure, and insufficient relaxation of cranial nerves.

3. Parkinson's disease. Patients with Parkinson's disease often have dystonia, sluggish gait, and non-motor symptoms. The tremor is confined to both upper extremities in most patients, and a few patients have head tremors.

4. Hyperthyroidism. Hyperthyroidism can cause tremors, mainly due to hyperthyroidism is a hypermetabolic clinical syndrome, high blood pressure caused by excessive blood flow, which can lead to dizziness and tremors.

5. Adverse drug reactions. Long-term use of drugs may cause adverse effects of head tremors, such as long-term use of flunarizine hydrochloride capsules in the elderly, which may cause symptoms of head tremors caused by damage to the extravertebral system in the elderly.

There are many reasons for the symptoms of head tremor, and if the symptoms of head shaking are accompanied by tremors 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, etc., 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 cerebral hemophiliac pigging disease, lacunar cerebral infarction, cerebral arteriosclerosis, cerebral thrombosis, etc., are also the causes of head shaking. The body temperature rises after a cold or if you have diabetes, etc., which may also cause head shaking, so you should go to the hospital and make sure that you will do it later**.

Analysis: Tremor is an extrapyramidal symptom caused by essential tremor and Parkinson's disease, as follows:

1. Essential tremor: Essential tremor can cause head tremor, which is common in middle-aged and elderly people, and is related to family genetics, and will be aggravated when nervous and agitated.

2. Parkinson's disease: it can cause rhythmic head tremors, as well as stiffness and slow walking.

3. Other diseases: such as Tourette's syndrome, spastic torticollis, cerebral ischemia, cerebral infarction, hyperthyroidism, electrolyte disorders, hypoglycemia, anemia, liver and kidney insufficiency, etc.

Involuntary slight shaking of the head is considered to be caused by seizures, Parkinson's disease and Parkinson's syndrome, essential tremor, hyperthyroidism, etc.

1) Seizures: Simple partial seizures can be manifested as involuntary shaking of the head, which generally lasts no more than 1 minute, and can be diagnosed by electroencephalogram during the seizure period.

2) Parkinson's disease and parkinsonism: common in middle-aged and elderly people, it is a common progressive neurological disease, which can be manifested as head resting tremor, and other clinical manifestations include motor flaccidity, muscle rigidity, walking disorder, dysarthria, mask face, autonomic nerve dysfunction and psychological disorders.

3) Essential tremor: It is a relatively common motor dysfunction, common in the elderly, mainly manifested by tremor or involuntary movement of the upper and lower limbs, head and face, and even the trunk. May manifest as simple involuntary head shaking.

4) Hypernaphthropic: It can be manifested as involuntary shaking of the head, often accompanied by symptoms such as irritability, irritability, insomnia, palpitations, lack of energy, heat intolerance, excessive sweating, weight loss, hyperphagia, increased stool frequency or diarrhea.

Head shaking is definitely not normal, Guangxing should go to the hospital for a check-up, don't take it seriously, check it early.

There are often two reasons for a person's head trembling, on the one hand, it may be physiological, and if the forehead tremor caused by this reason, you generally don't need to pay attention to it, and it will usually get better after a while.

On the other hand, there is the pathological cause, which is what is medically called tremor.

If the head tremors are caused by tremors, then it is necessary to pay attention to it, this disease is still relatively harmful to people, so it is necessary to be timely and wonderful.

Brief analysis of the causes of head tremors:

1. Excessive mental tension.

Excessive emotion and anxiety lead to insufficient relaxation of cranial nerves.

The tremor symptoms of this kind of cause are intermittent and can be relieved on their own, often accompanied by insomnia, dreaminess, fatigue, poor appetite, chest tightness, palpitation and other symptoms.

2. Essential tremor, also known as essential tremor, is the most common cause.

The most prominent clinical symptom of essential tremor is involuntary shaking of the head, accompanied by coarse tremor of the limbs, which is more obvious when moving, and fine motor difficulties are difficult.

3. Parkinson's disease.

The tremor in Parkinson's disease is a resting tremor that tends to appear first in the distal upper extremities, is pronounced at rest, lessens with activity, disappears after sleep, and worsens with tension. There are other symptoms of Parkinson's disease, such as bradykinesia, increased muscle tone, etc.

4. Hyperthyriform glandular hyperfunction.

Patients with hyperthyroidism tend to have a rapid heartbeat, eat a lot of food, lose weight, and have obvious symptoms of hyperthyroidism.

5. Extrapyramidal lesions.

Some patients with extrapyramidal lesions, such as Wilson's disease and chorea, may also have a slight shaking of the head unconsciously.

The first reason is to pay attention to the presence of essential tremor, which is a typical extrapyramidal disease with a certain family history and a specific pathogenesis that is not particularly clear. Patients will have involuntary shaking of the head and hands, aggravated when nervous and anxious, disappear during sleep, can be treated with related medications**, some patients can reduce the symptoms after drinking.

The second reason is to pay attention to Parkinson's disease, patients with Parkinson's disease will also have tremors in the middle and late stages, and generally have clinical manifestations such as bradykinesia and increased muscle tone.

The third reason is to pay attention to whether the patient has chronic alcoholism and hyperthyroidism, which can also cause head shaking, and it is necessary to pay attention to identification.

There are two conditions that can cause head tremors, the first is the head tremor caused by essential tremor and the second is the head tremor caused by Parkinson's disease.

The head tremor caused by essential tremor will start at a relatively young age, and many people will have a family history, that is, there are siblings in the family, or the father and mother have head tremors, but it may be like this for five or ten years, and it will not be particularly aggravated and not particularly fast. The head tremor caused by Parkinson's disease generally begins slowly at the age of 40 or 50 when you are older, and this shaking will occur.

Head tremor is a relatively common symptom that requires the distinction between essential tremor, tremor due to Parkinson's disease, or tremor caused by concentration disorders. Its principles and protocols are not exactly the same, if it is essential tremor.

Essential tremor causes head tremors that begin before the comparatively high and are accompanied by a family history or in both parents and brothers.

In this case as you described, it is necessary to go to the hospital to see a neurologist and perform brain MRI and other related examinations to clarify whether it is the above discomfort caused by intracranial lesions or the above discomfort caused by other **.
