Tremors in the hands can occur without a cause or as a symptom of an underlying condition. Shaky hands is not a life-threatening symptom, but it can have an impact on daily activities.
Most people have a slight tremor in the hands, and it may be especially noticeable when holding the hands straight out in front of the body.
Tremors range in severity, and several conditions can cause more noticeable shaking.
we explore common causes of hand tremors and their treatments A tremor is a common movement disorder. An involuntary, rhythmic muscle contraction causes the shaking. Tremors are most common in the hands, but they can also occur in the arms, head, vocal cords, torso, and legs.
Tremors can be intermittent, happening every so often, or constant. Sometimes tremors develop on their own, and other times they signal an underlying health issue.

Depends on why it's shaking . It can be for medical reasons , even spiritual ( if you're open minded on the subject ) , or simply anxious. I'll speak about the last one because I trust it's more common . If it is anxiety that makes your hands tremble , I advise you to seek help so that you can control the anxiety . Because as long as your heart is in tense , you can't help it. But if you're not anxious at all , then maybe going for check up would be a good idea.

It depends on why your hands are shaking. I have an essential tremor which means that my hands constantly shake, I've found ways to make it better like using more of my upper arm to control what I'm doing with my hands. If your hands are shaking because of anxiety, I have found that taking some time to calm down and recentre works wonders for anxiety; finding the time to take a few calming breaths and ground myself helps me when my hands get shaky from anxiety. If you still experience shakiness even after trying many tactics to prevent them from doing so, I'd recommend seeing your primary care doctor.

Crossing your arms could work if you're standing up. Otherwise clasping your hands together or putting them under your legs could help with the actual shaking. I know these responses are highly superficial and seem a little weak but honestly I have always found them to be helpful in the past.
Thinking about what is causing the shaking too could help, by allowing you to acknowledge the root cause of your anxiousness. Once you have done this, think rationally through all the things you could do to address this area.
Know that your body protects you and that you are safe.

Many things can cause our hands from shaking. Anything from cold - we shiver so that our bodies force us to warm a little bit. Over stimulation. If you are a big coffee drinker or a smoker etc our bodies can be so over stimulated that we shake. My fiance can't drink coffee in the mornings anymore as she is a surgeon and if she is overstimulated, stitching people up is almost impossible. Some people also have restless leg syndrome, which means a lot of the time their legs just need to move and shake and sometimes dance. I don't know why, but a friend of mine used to walk for hours every night because his legs wouldn't let him sleep. So you could have one of these or another one. If you are worried about it being a physical thing, see what stimulants you can stop, or try gloves or something. Otherwise, GPs could have a look and see if its something else inside.

If you have shaking anything and you drink often, you may have Delirium Tremens. This requires a doctors attention, seek help immediately. This site requires extra characters with no reason given, so, I'm going to say one more thing, I love you, and you can get over this. Apparently I have to keep going even those this question doesn't require it. This goes out to 7cups... who in your staff decided this questions needed to be so long? Is it for things that make you money or is it because you used a blanket rule to make sure things get done.... OK I made it. Done.

First,CHECK your diet,insufficient amount of nutrient can potentially cause hand shaking,and even sleep issues,and without proper sleep,symptoms just becoming worse and worse,your heart starts to hurt,you have a headache,you have blurred vision,or shaking entirely,from toes to the head,that's a physical problem that may cause your hands to shake uncontrollably.When it comes to the psychological problems,it's VERY complex,as the only person who start feeling better and finding out the culprit on "Why my hands are shaking" is you,and only you,psychiatrists/therapists may only guide you and provide support together with your family/friends,because the answer is in your head,because when you know the answer,you can then talk to the therapist/psychiatrist about it,and fix the problem.

Hey reader,
This must be really hard to come to grips with but it sounds like hand shaking is a sign of anxiety and if your in an anxious situation pleasr remove yourself if possible and that could stop the shaking. I know from personal experience that my hands shake when i'm extreemely nervous or i'm in an uncomfortable situation, like i said above removing yourself may be the best option but if that isn't possible breathing techniques, like meditation could really help from my experiences. i'm sorry if i can't help anymore, feel free to message me if you need more advice!

When your body is subjected to stress, it goes into fight-or-flight mode. Stress hormones flood your body and speed up your heart rate, blood pressure, and your breathing. Your body prepares to deal with the stressor, interpreting the anxiousness as a signal that you’ll need to stand your ground or escape from danger. Your muscles become primed to act, leading to a trembling sensation, twitching, or shaking. Tremors caused by anxiety are called psychogenic tremors.
You can try to do some relaxation techniques like yoga, Progressive muscle relaxation (focuses on contracting, then releasing different muscle groups), deep and slow breathing or mindfulness exercises or anything that really relax you or makes you happy/calm. I find that as i calm down, the shaking will slowly stops too.

Sit down or try to get comfortable, try to breath slowly in and out, hold onto something steady if possible, and see if you can find out why you're shaking, know that its nothing bad and everyone has it happen in their lives, maybe try to stretch your hands a little, see if you can eat something and make sure your thought are something else than what you're currently thinking about, put on something on tv, listen to music, maybe even dance a little to relax your musles! Perhaps wash your hands with some cold water so you keep your hands busy too
