Shaking Hands: Yes, please do make it a point to ask your doctor about your shaking hands. Do not leap to conclusions because there are reasons other than Parkinson's for shaking. Peace and good health.

Hi Doc, I'm currently experiencing shaking in the hands as if it were Parkinsons, bad body shakes and jerks and difficulty breathing when the body does that. Could it be stress? Anxiety or panic attacks?

Concerned about Parkinsons. My hands have been jittery when I try to use a fork (like very, very fine jittering). And my hands/arms shake when I try to open a pickle jar. No jitters at rest. I dont drink caffeine. Could this be early Parkinsons?
