A member asked:

Hello. im 18 years old and my hand keeps shaking everytime i lift something heavy like carrying my baby sisster for some time and my hand shakes?help

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hand shaking: if you do not exercise regularly, lifting a heavy object can lead to shaking of that arm. However, if you are physically active then that is not normal and warrants evaluation
