Is finger tremor dangerous?
Trembling is called fasciculation in medical language and occurs on any muscular area of the body, including the fingers.
Because of the trembling of the fingers, some people may think that this discomfort is a symptom of some neurological disorder. However if the shivering is not accompanied by any other symptoms, there is really nothing dangerous.
Convulsive muscle contractions can be formed against the background of factors such as fatigue, physical exertion, and you can even imagine a large amount of caffeine.
Possible causes of muscle tremors are:
- Some medications (sort of side effects);
- Magnesium deficiency (accompanied by corresponding symptoms);
- Vitamin E deficiency (accompanied by corresponding symptoms);
- Essential tremor (accompanied by corresponding symptoms);
- Hyperparathyroidism (accompanied by corresponding symptoms);
- Tourette's syndrome (accompanied by corresponding symptoms);
- Parkinson's disease (accompanied by corresponding symptoms);
- Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (accompanied by corresponding symptoms).
When to see a doctor?
As I have already told you, if the trembling of the fingers is not accompanied by any other symptoms, there is nothing dangerous.
In virtually healthy young people, trembling of the fingers may be a symptom of overwork. For example, young people spend more time than recommended on mobile phones, computers, and video games.
If the tremor does not go away, you are worried for a long time and you cannot connect anything (i.e. you do not know the cause), consult a doctor; the doctor will determine if any neurological pathology has developed.
However, consult a doctor if shivering interferes with your daily activities or reduces your quality of life.
In some cases, the only treatment is rest, and sometimes medical intervention is needed.
