A member asked:

My husband, 40 starts shaking. his whole body, not seizures. his hands, he said he feels his insides shaking, sweat pours.. never drank alchole. ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Interesting: He could be having a surge of Epinephrine (adrenaline, ) which we see in an adrenal tumour called a pheochromocytoma. The patient feels very anxious, heart races, is sweaty and tremulous. Most are benign, but are serious. Regardless, i think he should be seen by a physician, and sooner is better. Good luck.
