What does it mean?

Definition shaky (tremor or Latin) is that tremor is a rhythmic (periodic) oscillations (regular, the same repetitive motion) of the body around a fixed point. Tremors are most often affected fingers, hands, head or legs. Further, tremor can be evaluated according to whether it is resting tremor or position – that is, it spawns only present at rest or is dependent on the position of the limb. Often such positional tremor occurs when you sit on a chair, your thighs serves as a support area for anything (a book, etc.) And stand the foot of the same leg on top. Conversely, resting tremor most often occurs (along with other symptoms, such as e.g. hypomimie – reduced mimics facial muscles) in Parkinson’s disease. Such tremors sometimes slow, says the frequency of 4-5 oscillations per second and starts very slowly, so it people are often overlooked at first, then they do not attach importance to him, and when they begin to be regarded as a problem, sometimes the disease is already at an advanced stage .

A separate unit tremor consists of so-called idiopathic tremor (idiopathic = no known cause), which is often linked genetically and affects whole generations of families, so you can sometimes find a naming idiopathic familial tremor.

If you come across the concept of intention tremor (shaking), so here it is such a tremor, which normally is not present at all, but starting to show if the sick person trying to perform a targeted action, for example, put a spoonful of soup into his mouth. This type of tremor is targeted movements simultaneously amplified and intensified with the approach to the target.

Such persons have difficulty eating separately because the size of oscillations in the mouth is considerable and it is virtually impossible for them to hit. This type of tremor is conditional disease of the cerebellum.

In the long term may also occur with tremor withdrawal symptoms – in alcoholics, drug addicts, etc.

Physiologically tremor occurs in response to a cold environment. For its creation, brief rapid contractions of skeletal muscles, which thereby generating heat. Another option where one can begin to tremble when mental stress or large amounts of stress, the mechanism of its formation is similar – it’s also a defensive reaction of the organism to unfavorable conditions. These are those types of tremors but short, unlike the above.

What with this?

The most important element on the way to relieve tremor is to figure out what is causing it. The best option may be to consider a neuroscientist who carry out appropriate tests leading to revelation. If a man shakes for a short or medium-long time – but he knows he is exposed as the very strong stress, no need to panic, in this case mostly tremors subside along with the stimulus that provoked it. But if every time you look at your hand and see that it is even slightly trembling or shakiness help prevent targeted actions certainly do not delay unnecessarily visit your GP or neurologist.

In short conclusion:

This flag underestimate, unless you have a reason why you should hand or other body part to tremble, then it is probably something wrong somewhere. The sooner you find out what it is, the better for you. Parkinson’s disease is insidious precisely in the fact that its beginning is insidious, but the treatment and course are very protracted affairs.
