About Shaky Hands

Shaky hands, medically known as tremor, is not a procedure but a symptom evaluated by an Internal Medicine specialist. The 'procedure' involves a comprehensive diagnostic assessment to determine the underlying cause. This includes a detailed medical history, neurological examination, and potentially diagnostic tests like blood work or imaging. The goal is to differentiate between essential tremor, Parkinson's disease, medication side effects, or other neurological conditions. A precise diagnosis is crucial for developing an effective management plan, which may include medication adjustments, lifestyle modifications, or referrals to neurologists for specialized care. This evaluation is the first critical step toward improving hand stability and quality of life.

Who is this surgery for?

  • Tremor that worsens with stress, fatigue, or caffeine consumption.
  • New-onset tremor, especially if accompanied by other symptoms like stiffness, slow movement, or balance issues.
  • Tremor as a potential side effect of certain medications (e.g., asthma drugs, mood stabilizers).
  • Family history of tremor or Parkinson's disease prompting a preventive evaluation.
  • Tremor associated with symptoms of hyperthyroidism, such as weight loss and anxiety.

  • Prepare a detailed list of all current medications, supplements, and vitamins.
  • Note the frequency, triggers, and duration of the shaky hands episodes.
  • Be ready to discuss personal and family medical history, especially regarding neurological conditions.
  • Avoid caffeine or stimulants for several hours before the consultation, if possible, to prevent exacerbating the tremor.
  • Consider bringing a family member who can provide additional observations.
  • Wear clothing that allows easy examination of the arms and hands.

Risks & possible complications

  • The diagnostic process itself is low-risk, involving primarily consultation and examination.
