Patients with hyperthyroidism may experience a slight tremor of the fingers.
Hyperthyroidism is characterized by elevated levels of thyroid hormones in the body, which leads to sympathetic nerve excitation and increased muscle tone, resulting in a slight tremor of the fingers, which may also be accompanied by a slight trembling of the tongue.
In addition to the tremor of the fingers, hyperthyroidism may also be accompanied by a fear of heat, excessive sweating, excessive eating, easy to get hungry, weight loss, palpitations, diarrhea or increased frequency of bowel movements, irritability, anger and other symptoms.
Generally, after actively taking anti-thyroid medication such as propylthiouracil or iodine 131 treatment, the thyroid hormone levels in the blood can be controlled and the symptoms of hand tremor can be relieved.
Hyperthyroidism patients with symptoms of shaking hands should go to the hospital and be treated under the guidance of a doctor.
