Be careful! Trembling of hands is not always normal, it can be a sign of some disease

News Topical, Digital Desk : Hand tremors are a common problem and sometimes it is caused by stress or fatigue. However, some diseases also cause people's hands to tremble.

If the tremor of hands (why do hands shake) is less, then the person suffering from it does not have much trouble, but excessive tremor of hands (uncontrollable hand shaking) can make even everyday tasks difficult. What is the reason behind these shaking hands and how can this be avoided?

Vibrations do not occur only in the hands

Tremor is not self-controlled, it causes contraction of muscles and body parts appear to be shaking or vibrating. Usually tremor affects the hand only, but the effect can also be seen on these parts of the body:-

• Head
• Hand
• Feet
• The voice box, which causes the voice to tremble.

There are two types of tremor

• Resting tremor: This occurs when the muscles are at rest, with the hand resting on your thigh.
• Action tremor: In this, the muscles contract due to doing some work. Most of the tremors are action tremors.

These are the reasons why hands tremble

Tremors can be normal or may be caused by a neurological problem, disease, or medication.

Neurological problem: This can happen due to a problem in the deep part of the brain that controls movement. However, hands can also tremble due to these neurological reasons:

• multiple sclerosis
• parkinson's disease
• Stroke
• brain injury

These could also be the reasons

• When drinking too much alcohol or in the phase of quitting alcohol
• mercury poisoning
• Hyperthyroidism
• Liver or kidney failure
• stress, anxiety, or fatigue

They can provide help

• Lifestyle changes: Avoid strenuous exercise; avoid alcohol consumption.
• Get the disease treated: If hands are trembling due to any disease like hyperthyroidism, then get those diseases treated properly.
• Psychological methods: If someone is experiencing tremors due to anxiety or panic attacks, they should adopt relaxation techniques like mindfulness and breathing exercises.
• Talk about medicines: If any medicine is causing tremors in your hands, then talk to your doctor about it. The doctor will adjust your dosage or give you some other medicine.
• Physical Therapy: For this, the patient can be given training in some exercises, so that their control over the muscles increases, they work better and they get strength.

These methods can provide relief

• Use heavier items: You should replace fragile items like glass, silver etc. with slightly heavier versions. Heavier items are easier to hold.
• Specially designed utensils and tools: Shaky hands can make it difficult to hold and control pens, pencils and kitchen utensils. In such a situation, you can use items designed for people suffering from grip and control problems.
