My hands shake often..is there any medicine for this shaky?
Mar 11, 2013

Dr. Sara Hassan General Medicine
Shaking hands(tremor) can be due to many reasons. Age, family history, movement ( tremor present at rest or with activity), and environmental triggers ( caffeine intake, etc) are all factors to consider . Depending on the cause and the severity, a treatment plan can be devised. Please visit your primary care physician if you feel it is urgent/bothersome to determine the origin of the tremor and get the appropriate treatment .
