I am 26, at work i was a little hungry my hands and arm's were shaking. when i did eat, the shaking stoped. this has happened before but why?

Hungry hands: Very common complaint related to hypoglycemia. Usually affected are young women with this problem because they have a low body sugar( glycogen ) reserve . After not eating for several hours you could experience drops in your body's blood sugar levels and your muscles and your brain which are very sensitive to these drops respond with some of the symptoms you described
