Why does my hand shiver alot and it is not cold?


Answer:
well if your hands shake on daily bases...if they are even more triggered by the stress, anxiety, excitment...but get calm with taking alcochol. If you have it for a long time and it is constant (or getting worse), it might mean that you have movement disorder - probably Essential Tremors. They run in a family and can appear at any age (even with birth). It's a life long disorder and its progress vary from person to person. Although essential tremor can affect almost any part of your body, trembling occurs most often in your hands, especially when you try to do simple tasks such as drinking a glass of water, tying your shoelaces, writing or shaving. Sometimes, you may also have trembling of your head, voice or arms.Essential tremor is the most common of the many movement disorders.
Essential tremor often begins gradually. Sometimes it appears during adolescence. More often, though, tremors begin in mid- to late life.The most common sign is a trembling, up-and-down movement of your hands, although your arms, legs, head and even your tongue and voice box (larynx) also may be affected. Most people have tremors in both hands. Some people have tremors in only one hand, though the tremors often progress to include both hands.Tremors usually occur only when you engage in a voluntary movement, such as drinking a glass of water, writing or threading a needle. Actions requiring fine-motor skills 鈥?using utensils or small tools, for example 鈥?may be especially difficult. Fatigue, anxiety and temperature extremes make the signs worse, but tremors usually disappear when you're asleep or at rest.Some people have relatively mild tremors throughout their lives, while others develop more severe tremors and increased disability over time. Effects of worsening tremors may include:Difficulty holding a cup or glass without spilling
Difficulty eating normally
Difficulty putting on makeup or shaving
Difficulty talking, if your voice box or tongue is affected
Difficulty writing 鈥?handwriting may become increasingly large, shaky and illegible
The inability to perform actions requiring fine-motor skills, such as playing an instrument or drawing
About half of all cases of essential tremor appear to occur because of a genetic mutation. This is referred to as benign familial tremor. Genes are information centers in your cells that control your body's growth, development and function. A mutation in just one gene can greatly alter the way your body works. Researchers have identified two genes that appear to be involved in essential tremor. It's possible that mutations in other genes may also lead to the condition.Exactly what causes essential tremor in people without a known genetic mutation isn't clear. Doctors do know that the problem occurs in the brain circuits that control your movements. Studies using an imaging technique called positron emission tomography (PET) scanning show that certain parts of the brain 鈥?including the thalamus 鈥?have increased activity in people with essential tremor. More research is needed to understand the precise mechanism behind the disease.If you have somebody in your family that shakes, this could be your hint to guess what is happening to you.But, you still gave so little details so I could guess specially without seeing, what could it be exactlly.
Checking with your doctor would be the smartest thing!
There are many medical problems that can have as a symptom - shaking. Even some medications can have it as a side effect.
This is the one that came to my mind from what you wrote. If you find yourself in this, it still doesn't mean you have a diagnose, of course - you just need to check that with your doctor.
DON'T take any medications on your own as you can make it even worse. Hope this helps!If you need someone to talk to or u wish to ask something more, feel free to email me!girl_lina06@yahoo.com
some people get a shake in their hand once in awhile =I do too ,but have yet to know why
NERVES PROBABLY
Some people have a tremor. For example, my fathers hands have shaken his entire life. He's not cold, or ill, they just shake. If you really feel that it might be a problem, I would point it out to your parents, and then to a doctor.
There is a disease that causes people's hands to shake like that. I don't know anything about it. Try to Google it or something, learn more.
You may have a tremor or a neurological problem. If this is something that just started, I would advise you to go to the doctor and be evaluated. An uncontrollable tremor is not a good thing.
Parkinson's does that to you. Go to a doctor.
