Overview
Common causes of tremor include caffeine intake in excess, essential tremor, stress, anxiety, low blood glucose, excessive alcohol, muscle fatigue, aging, Pakinson's disease and [cause3].
Causes
Common Causes
- Common physiological causes of tremor include excessive caffeine , stress, anxiety, low blood glucose, muscle fatigue, aging
- Common pathological causes of tremor include the following:
| Common Cause of Tremor | Type of Tremor | Main Feature of Disease |
| Essential tremor | Action - Postural Tremor | Weakness, hyporeflexia, lack of normal muscle tone |
| Parkinson’s disease | Resting Tremor | Slow movement, stooped posture, rigidity imbalance |
| Wilson's disease | Unilateral upper motor neuron | Weakness, reduced range of motion, decreased fine motor control of tongue & lips |
| Multiple sclerosis | Cerebellum | Poorly coordinated movements of speech mechanism, scanning/drunken speech |
| Hypoglycemia | Basal ganglia | Quick involuntary movements (hyperkinesis) |
| Alcoholism | Action - Postural Tremor | Less movement (hypokinesis), increased muscle tone |
| Hyperthyroidism | Action - Postural Tremor | Mixed presentation |
