Hi, my friend is 31 years old male, pretty much healthy, family history of hypertension, history of smoking about 1PPD since 16 years old, stopped 3 months ago. Recently i noticed that his head and hands shaking, usually it happens in the evening. He told he is just tired, but this is not the first i noticed him doing this. What can it be???
Hi There After going through the details provided by you leads me towards thinking about a condition known as "ESSENTIAL TREMORS"Essential tremor is a nerve disorder characterized by uncontrollable shaking, or tremors in different parts and on different sides of the body. Areas affected often include the hands, arms, head, larynx (voice box), tongue, and chin. The lower body is rarely affected. Although it's not a life threatening condition but in severe cases can prevent an individual from doing daily activities. I would like to advise to do a complete THYROID profile for your friend as thyroid dysfunction can also trigger these. And it could only be just due to the post residual effect from smoking with Chat Doctor. Meds like Beta Blockers, Tranquilizers, Anticonvulsant can reduce the symptoms. But I would like you to go to a NEUROLOGIST for proper examination. Good Luck
