A member asked:
I have really quite shaky hands for an 18 year old and it's worrying me slightly?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Some possibilities: Shaky hands could be associated with familial hereditary essential tremors, but could be associated with hyperthyroidism, medication side effects, and recreational drugs especially amphetamines and cocaine. These issues can readily be controlled and reversed. See a neurologist and get addressed.
