hand tremor
Involuntary hand shaking
Hand tremor is involuntary shaking of the hand, ranging from barely perceptible to severely disabling.
Tremors may be constant or appear only during specific activities—a resting tremor occurs when the hand is still, while an intention tremor worsens when reaching for something.
Causes include neurological conditions like Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, anxiety, caffeine, medication side effects, and alcohol withdrawal.
