text: what to do about shaky hands? my hands shake slightly, especially when im cold or nervous. what can i do to stop this? i have a test tomorrow and my room is really cold and its really bad in there! help!! i eat regularly and dont have caffeine or smoke. thanks. first of all make the conditions good so you would reduce any known trigger of your hands shaking. reduce stress if possible, but if your hands shake always maybe you have a problem of neurological kind....all this sounds too much maybe, but it all depends how much they shake. do you have anybody in your family with some neurological disorder (maybe essential tremors)? and how old are u?
