I am a female. 19 yrs old, 5 3 tall and 183 pounds though I don t look it. I have asthma but that s not the issue. I have a problem with my hands. They tremble from time to time, occasionaly I have dropped things. When I try to grip things tight, it s like I am not even trying. Also when I touch cold things, the pain spreads all the way to my elbows. I also have aches in my ankles and knees. I don t know what to do, I m really worried about my hands though.
Hi, There can be many reasons for trembling / tremors of the hands. It can be related to brain disorders (stroke-reduced blood supply, infections, genetic disorders), liver or kidney disorders or hyperthyroidism (increase thyroid hormone). Besides, there can be simple reasons like stress, anxiety, depression or anemia (low hemoglobin). Not only this, tremors can even be Chat Doctor.  I feel that first do some lifestyle changes. Reduce the intake of tea and coffee. Try to be relaxed. Go for some relaxation and hand muscle strengthening exercises especially related to your hands. Do get your asthma medications renewed to rule out that they are not responsible for tremors. If still the symptoms persist then you must go for some investigations like complete blood count, CRP, thyroid hormone and sodium, potassium. Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
