Do I Have Parkinson Disease? Help Me
Posted: 12-14-03 13:58pm

Sad I am a 21 years old male....And for the pass 3 weeks, I noticed that my hands(arms and body) will be constantly (shaking?)moving.....My hands' movement are the most obvious like 1-2mm side to side constantly onces every second or so. I asked my co-workers and they said thats nothing to worry about......But I dont remember my hands moving like this......

At first, I thought it was normal, then, I became worried when I cannot even hold a glass of water in my hand in mid air without the water moving...... I will see the water level changing and it wont stop.

Are there any disease that cause my hands to be moving like that? Can anyone out there hold a glass of water in mid-air with out any water movement? What do I do? Will it go away? I am asian and none of my family have this hand shaking problem(i think)....I havn't told them.

Please help me

shaking hands (tremor)
Posted: 04-07-08 07:54am

Parkinson disease includes shaking hands (tremor), however tremor by itself does not always indicate Parkinson disease.

Tremor can also be found in anxiety disorders, physical stress, alcohol abuse, hypoglycemia, hypothermia, various drugs (coffeine, neuroleptics...), metabolic disorders, hyperthyroidism and certain neurological disorders, aside Parkinson disease.

Your age is also not typical for Parkinson's disease.

Do you have any other symptoms like decreased body movements (hypokynesia), slower movements (bradikinesia) and muscle stiffness, besides shaking hands?
