Long story short - I've had tremors in my hands since I was around 7 or 8 I was told. This was a rough time for me at that age - so I've always put it off to anxiety - I've also put it off to genetics as I know that can cause it - or just plain old luck of being born with it. I've never had any cause for alert of something more serious or anything neural related - as far as I know.
Let me add I was hospitalized for several hours recently (month ago) due to a fever and very low potassium (was said to be temporary/non long term potassium defficiency) - this was due to my diet - I wasn't taking care of myself. Now I drink tons of water, do a multi vitamin and have a banana or orange juice every other day and eat a couple meals a day. Wonder if the potassium thing could be a culprit as well?
I've noticed recently - in the last 2 weeks that my hands have been shaking a lot more - maybe because I'm paying more attention to it - work with customers' spectacles which takes finesse and tiny screw drivers and tools to manipulate and repair them - or maybe it's just the immense stress, higher intake of caffeine and obvious lack of proper sleep.
The hand tremors sometimes go up into my elbows - after an extremely stressful hour at work or a panic attack or after a 2 mile walk.
At rest, I still get tremors - again I always have.
Does anyone else get this? And how do they deal with this? It's generally not bad enough for people to notice unless I'm working on something or I'm nervous or concentrating a whole lot.
I've also noticed a lot more twitching/numbness/tingling right in between my left lip/cheek/nose. Again - right now I'm exhausted but can't sleep and worked overnights all weekend and a day shift. So I'm guessing that's the main cause. Still freaking me out though. Any home remedies or tips? Thanks.
