Question 1

sudden increased heart rate, shakiness in hands and pain/tightness in chest ?

Accepted Answer

Palpitation: anxiety, hyperthyroidism can be the cause of the symptoms ,although heart disease can do it also , but in a 21 y/o it is unlikely but not impossible

Question 2

hi, from past few months i have been noticing a lot of weakness in my body. i also feel shakiness in my hands and suffer from cramps in legs and feet.

Accepted Answer

See a physician: You should consult a physician. Who can examine you and run some lab test to rule out other causes of weakness and tremors like anemia  hyperthyroidism and medications.I guess that you may be suffering from dehydration, hypokalemia or hypoglycemia which is causing your symptoms. In the meantime you cut back on all caffeine nicotine and alcohol intake. See your internist for work up asap.

Question 3

my body slightly shakes from inside every time my heart beats, i feel the shakiness in my head,eyes,back,legs,hands. it's slightly inside only.

Accepted Answer

Shakiness: Although those symptoms may be explained by anxiety, its possible that its your blood pressure or heart issues (less likely). You should have it checked out

Question 4

17 year old male boy, ive had a pretty strong vitamin d deficiency for around 7 years. could it be the reason behind my slight hand shakiness, dizzy when standing up quickly and general fatigue? or does vitamin d not affect anything?

Accepted Answer

: The symptoms you described are not consistent with vitamin D deficiency.  Severe vitamin D deficiency leads to skeletal deformities, tetany,  and seizures.

Question 5

i am having dry mouth, shakiness, vision problems, pale hands and feet, veins are showing that never used to show in fingers they almost look like bruises, fingers look wrinkly, nails are slightly purple, numbness in hands and feet going up. diabete?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: Your symptoms suggest dehydration as at least one contributing possibility. Out of control diabetes can surely cause dehydration, so it's possible that you're right. But there are certainly other explanations as well. Simple testing, like a blood sugar, will answer the first question in 30 minutes. Perhaps you should engage a primary care physician to review all of these concerns?

Question 6

why do my hands get cold when i am anxious?

Accepted Answer

Adrenaline: When people get anxious there is a release of adrenaline which tends to constrict the circulation in the limbs. Presumably, its role in the "fight or flight" emergency reactions of the body is to diminish blood loss if you were to get slashed & to make sure that plenty of blood is going to the major organs.

Question 7

why do my hands get so cold after i exercise?

Accepted Answer

Natural response: During and after vigorous exercise, the heart works to pump blood to the more important parts of the body, like the brain and the muscles that are working.  To do that, the blood vessels in the extremities will tighten allowing blood to be shunted to the parts noted above, .

Question 8

why do my hands get colder when i wear gloves?

Accepted Answer

See your doctor: If you are a smoker it could be a circulation issue. There is also a process called raynauds. It is the cold that is causing the issue, not the wearing of gloves. See your doctor and discuss it with him or her.

Question 9

why do my hands get cold when i am nervous / anxious?

Accepted Answer

Anxious: During anxiety, there is excess flow of adrenaline (fight-flight chemical) which affects blood vessels and sweat glands to give you cold clammy hands.

Question 10

why do my hands get really cold in room temp environments? is this something concerning?

Accepted Answer

: Do your hands change color when they become cold? If not, then it is not likely to be Raynaud’s disease. Are there any other symptoms associated with it? If not, then it is unlikely to be anything concerning. You can have your doctor check it if you are concerned or if you have associated symptoms, like pain, numbness, etc. Good luck!
